LeeAnn Kress, is the color loving artist behind Charmed Confections. Her candy shop of sculpted art invokes Willy Wonka, childhood memories, and Halloween magic. She aspires to evoke happiness and nostalgia in her collectors.
Details unknown to collectors hold special significance to LeeAnn,
like the number 13 representing her father's birthday. Art is not
just about creating visually appealing pieces; it's about sharing a
part of herself with the world. Every piece is infused with
inspiration from her life or her family.
A switch from a telecommunications job to artistry wasn't a
difficult decision. Her passion had blossomed after work hours,
eventually becoming her dream job. In addition to Halloween, LeeAnn
has also created fairy art. She’s honored that her work has been
reproduced by Bethany Lowe.
LeeAnn is exhibiting at the All Hallows Art Fest in Petaluma, CA
this year. In this episode she shares a preview of the wonders
collectors will find in her booth.
“I want my art to give collectors back those memories of Halloween
and trick-or-treating... I want them to feel the love and care that
I put into the details and to really love it.” - LeeAnn Kress
