Hartsough is hard to spell, and sometimes hard to pronounce. 
"Candi Harts" is Candice Hartsough, an illustrator who graduated from The Herron School of Art and Design in 2005. Her style is simple, yet attention and care are paid to small details. Her color palettes are bright and inviting, and her expressive characters take center stage. She is inspired by relief printmaking, embroidery, and every pet or child she has ever met. She currently lives in Indianapolis, Indiana with her husband, three children, and little dog.
