RECOGNITION
Kandice Pierce is a landscape painter and artist based in Austin, Texas, who documents the essence of place through a study of light, memory, and story. Driven by a desire to experience a location as deeply as possible, Pierce is often found on the trail before the birds, gazing towards the horizon to capture the unique, warm orange glow of a desert sunrise. Her practice serves as a visual record of these moments, translating the character of the land into paintings that allow viewers to reconnect with their own experiences of the outdoors or find inspiration in a new destination. She paints to travel and travels to paint, fueled by the exploration and growth found in each new landscape.
While she frequently paints in plein air to capture the immediate spirit of a location, her primary focus is on developing more involved, larger-scale landscapes in her studio. Oil painting is her first love, though she consistently maintains a watercolor journal while traveling. These journals serve as a vital record of her adventures, allowing her to document specific landscapes and fleeting moments in real-time as she explores. Her paintings are inspired by a natural beauty and depth that a camera cannot fully translate.
