Shining a Light on Nature
Nature is at the center of my work. Inspired by the rhythm and movement of the outdoors, each piece reflects a deep connection to the world around us. Leaves are at the heart of every cyanotype, chosen for their unique shapes and intricate patterns, each one a quiet story waiting to be explored.
The rich blue tones in my work evoke calm and serenity, reminiscent of deep waters, flowing rivers, and gentle winds. Each piece is playful by nature, transporting you to the places and moments that invite a deep breath.
Every cyanotype begins with hand mixed chemicals applied to watercolor paper or organic cotton. The piece is then exposed to real sunlight, and after washing away the chemicals, the image slowly reveals itself as those signature blue tones begin to emerge.
Meet Candiché
Candice Rodriguez Adams is an artist deeply inspired by nature. She spent her childhood between the Caribbean and summers in Michigan, where two contrasting landscapes shaped her appreciation for form, color, and the quiet beauty of the natural world. That connection continues to guide her work today.
While earning her BFA in Printmaking at Siena Heights University, Candice discovered her passion for monotypes. Known by her peers as Candiché, she became captivated by the printmaking process, where each step builds upon the last to create depth and layered complexity.
This exploration eventually led her to cyanotypes, where she found a natural balance between creativity, her affinity for the color blue, and her enduring connection to nature.
“Candice's passion for her work is obvious the moment you start talking with her. She walked us through her entire thought process, where she collected the leaves, what inspired the piece, and what it all means. That context made us fall in love with it before we even got it home. We purchased a large piece that now hangs in my office and it's absolutely perfect. It fits the space beautifully and gets compliments every time someone walks in. If you're looking for art with real meaning behind it, Candice is your person
