Candace Lipischak

Candace Lipischak is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised on Teaty 1 territory. They are inspired by nature and their French-Métis-Polish background. Her company Fat Daug (short for Father/Daughter) was launched in 2015, offering unique and organic antler jewelry, which can be found on her website online and is carried by WAG-Quamajuk in Winnipeg. Candace also has merchandise incorporating their heritage-inspired designs, such as Louis Riel.

Self-taught, their visual art work may be connected to outsider art often illustrating unconventional ideas and materials. By painting and incorporating many mediums such as antler, recycled tin and miscellaneous parts, Lipischak has found a way of telling a different story regarding environmental and social issues, consumerism, the land, truth and reconciliation, and nature’s powerful force.

Their work is part of various collections, private and corporate, such as TDS Law, Ceridian, as well as the Niverville Community Resource and Recreation Centre.
