There are not enough wonderful words to say about Candice. Her work is exquisite, unique, and truly stunning! Her professionalism and southern hospitality is exceptional! If you are looking for gifts, home decor, or an eye-catcher, look no further! She delivers! Thank you so much Candice Alexander! You are amazing!

The masks are awful the material is slick wont stay on you face. No wire for the nose so it fall onto your lip the biggest waste of $20.00 ever. To big for an average face need a huge head or Dumbo elephant ears.

Im having a hard time with this review. She’s an amazing artist. Her works are innovative, fun and capture the heart of the idea of each creation.I went in there after seeing her work somewhere else and was impressed. She has her prices listed and was running a BOGO on prints, so I figured I would be able to get some for me and others for presents.Both in her studio/shop and online, she has the prices listed for the 8x10s for 49 dollars. Yet, when we checked out, she told me the 8x10’s are $99.I come from an family of artists. I’ve been lucky to work on a lot of projects from houses to restaurants and all over the country doing things from murals, Trompe-lœil to simple faux painting. So I’m big on supporting local artists. Still, I don’t appreciate being told a different price because of a BOGO than what’s listed. If one wants to upcharge a deal, then be up front about that. I understand these are the artist’s works, and they should be paid what they feel is their worth...but instant price changes shouldn’t happen.As I said, I absolutely love her work. And I would have paid what I did anyway...I just wish it was ran as an honest transaction.I was considering having her do a couple of new ideas, as she was offering to do the 14x18 for $150, which is what is normally 99 dollars. But, while I love what she does, I have a hard time supporting an artist that does a bait and switch on pricing.I’m not saying to not go see her shop, because I absolutely love her work. And had things been more honest, I would buy a lot more for people...as I know they would love them, and it would be great to see them in my friends restaurants around town...but personally I’m having a hard time with how it finished up...hey, as they say, your mileage may very...EDIT: As a response, I did continue with the transaction, as she has stated. Because I figured that when I was charged, I was mistaken. As I said, I had purchased the 8x10, not the 14x18 as stated below. I know the size I brought home as they printed one I wanted that wasnt available.When the paper was measured for printing, it was 8x10.Like I said, I love the artwork, and dont intend for a refund as I have full intentions to hang them up...and do feel that she should be able to charge what she wants for her work. I was just upset to find that what I purchased and what I was charged, even with the generous discount was incorrect.I have no intentions on trying to back out of a transaction, but I just like to be treated fair and want to make sure that everyone is as well. I have attached a photo with the measurement of the prints...as getting into a whos who on a review board isnt that important to me.

Got an awesome front license plate made in-store, since it wasnt currently in stock already made, and got to pet Tom the cat! Awesome little place close to my work. Will definitely be back for more goodies!

Fantastic and gifted artist! One of a kind artwork with phenomenal framework. I had custom pieces made and I absolutely love it. The recipients havent seen or received it so Im anxious to see their expressions when they see them. My new favorite store!! Im already making plans for my next pieces!!!
