CANDY MEDUSA

Candy Medusa is an artist, illustrator, marine biologist and loudmouth, constantly confused as to why artists’ statements are supposed to be in the third person.

She draws much of her inspiration from nature, is passionate about the environment, and mostly makes art between midnight and 4am when the kids are asleep.

Candy has exhibited locally, nationally and internationally, including with the Royal Society of Marine Artists at Mall Galleries, London, and with Creative Action Network in America and Bahrain.

Candy has illustrated books, albums for bands including Deep Purple, and posters for environmental organisations such as National Parks Conservation Association and Global Zero.

Candy is also founder of the eXXhibition project, raising awareness of plastic pollution, organising beach cleans, and upcycling beach litter into art.

Candy has been resident artist aboard two science vessels, sailing the Caribbean and Pacific, conducting outreach and research into marine plastic pollution.
