About the Artist:
For most of my life, I have been curious about what it means to be “well.” I’ve explored this question from many different angles as an anthropologist, an activist, a public health researcher, a doula, and now a physician. I am currently in residency, training to become a psychiatrist. In addition to my varied professional background, I am a student of various energy and meditation practices. I find creativity and art making to be a bridge between these two worlds as my art practice creates a channel for me to connect with spirit and move through the world in an embodied way. My practice currently includes weaving, embroidery, and printmaking.

Artist: Marsh
About the Artist:
Candyce “Marsh” John’s ever growing body of work is a self reflective expression of her views on existentialism. Representing the essence of what it is to live as a BIPOC and member of the LGBTQ+ community in a world of resistance, resilience and revolution during a new era of renaissance rooted in benevolence. Rising from the ashes of grief into a space of gratitude, Marsh’s oeuvre encapsulates an unapologetically blaque nuance of love, loss, and liberty by way of artistic expression.
Her notable accomplishments and exhibitions include: Art & Rhymes (2015-’17), Art House Presents: State of The City (2016), Rainbow Fashion Week (2016), Read’s Art Space: CT Arts Against Violence (2017), Blends Art Gallery: Less Guns More Roses (2017), NYC Grind Planet X (2017), RAW Artist Exhibition (2017), Nasty Womens Exhibit (2017 & ‘19), Art Basel; Basel Bash Exhibit (2019), PhillyArt Collective Gallery: Herspace Exhibit (2021). Founder of Juice Box N Paint, spearheaded the summer of 2015 for aspiring artists ages 2-12, one of her many community contributions is cultivating young minds with a passion for art. Marsh also is a published illustrator whose work can be seen in the children’s book, “Mama, do you love me?”
