Writer and Researcher
Linda Candy is a writer and researcher with a deep and enduring interest in how creative practitioners think, act and make cre- ative works. For over 30 years, she has studied the work of artists, designers and technologists focusing on the role of digital sys- tems in amplifying and transforming their creativity. Her book The Creative Reflective Practitioner (2020) gives direct voice to con- temporary creative artists and provides insights into the nature of artistic practice and how reflection plays a vital role in creativity. Her previous books include Explorations in Art and Technology (2002, 2018), Interactive Experience in the Digital Age: Evaluating New Art Practice (2014) (with Dr Sam Ferguson) and Interacting: Art, Research and the Creative Practitioner (2011) (with Profes- sor Ernest Edmonds). Her most recent publication in which she authored leading chapters and acted as consulting editor is The Routledge International Handbook of Practice-Based Research (2022) (with Professors Craig Vear and Ernest Edmonds). She also writes poetry and travel journals. She is influenced by the writings of great authors of the past and is an avid reader still. Most of all, she is inspired by the dedication and determination of the many creative people she has met over her working life.
