CANDY KESSER

Owner of The Crafty Artists

I’m Candy Kesser — wife, mom, grandma, and lifelong creative troublemaker now living my best life in sunny Southwest Florida. After 40+ years of adventures (and a career as a sports photographer), I retired… then immediately realized I’m terrible at sitting still. So I jumped into stained glass and resin art, turning our spare room into my personal glitter-covered playground. Along the way, I connected with amazing makers and heard the same story over and over: selling art is HARD. So I built The Crafty Artists — a fun, supportive, no-nonsense place where real artists can actually shine, sell, and not do it alone.
