Candice Eisenfeld studied painting at Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem and received her BFA from the University of Texas, where her work is part of the University’s permanent collection. Eisenfeld has been awarded three grants from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, and her work is featured in US Embassies in Belarus and Namibia.

His work is in public collections throughout Arizona, including Tucson Museum of Art, City of Chandler, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum.

Arizona based painter Gloria Gaddis received an MFA from University of Minnesota, and her paintings are exhibited throughout the United States.
