DiCandilo
was born in Philadelphia in 1947, DiCandilo now lives in Las Vegas, NV
Beginning with ceramic work as a potter in 1968, DiCandilo has added to his work with sculptures, paintings and installations. DiCandilo has used such media as clay, stone, wood, oil, watercolor, acrylics, charcoal, pen and pencil and on occasion discarded items.
DiCandilo actively showed his work throughout the 70's and has sold throughout the United states and Canada. In the 70's he toured the west coast doing shows from San Diego to San Francisco for several months each year. DiCandilo has done commission work in ceramics such as fireplace facades, sink basins, garden planters and wall murals.
Dicandilo now spends most of his time painting in his private studio at his home or doing the occasional ceramic piece. DiCandilo has donated many of his pieces to children's charities throughout his nearly 40 years of art.

As I began a painting, a sculpture or any other piece I may be planning, I consider the process as my reward, and the finished piece as a beginning to my next. I work in series, perhaps three to five pieces or as many as twenty.
I have been told by some that I do not take art as seriously as I should. I believe this misconception arises because I enjoy art and the art process so immensely. My nearly forty years in art speaks to the depth of my commitment and how seriously I am immersed. I am in awe of art and what its creative process does to me. It is my true passion!
