Meet the Artist : Candy Kuo

Based in Austin, TX, USA
Born in Tiape, Taiwan
With a strong commitment to her craft and expertise in large-scale installations & murals

“As a visual storyteller, I am captivated by the power of art to delve into the depths of human expression. Simultaneously, I find solace in painting as a means of exploring the intricacies of cultural identity. My works often gravitate towards figurative realism of local flora and fauna, and I’m particularly drawn to portraying the profound relationship between nature and women. As a first-generation immigrant, my art serves as an expression of my dual cultural identities. Born in Taiwan and raised in South Texas, I carry within me a profound connection to both cultures. My murals are often more than just stagnant images. My skills give me the ability to tell a story without words, evoke feelings without sound, and express movement without motion. My goals are twofold: to continually grow in my craft and to provide for my family while pursuing my passion. I aspire to be a role model for my child, demonstrating that as her mother, I am also an individual relentlessly pursuing her goals.” – Candy Kuo
