About Cassandra

The first time I can remember, my face was being drawn by my father on a whiteboard with markers. His passion to make it perfect was clearly evident. He inspired me to become an artist because he thought I had passion to make it a career.  He passed away when I was nine years old, and I struggled with his passing. I have made it my greatest goal to become an artist for him and for me. I just hope my father is proud of me.

I’ve sketched more than I can say. I drew in every class in school. I’ve always loved what my brain can make appear on paper. I work with both color and black and white images, and I enjoy how both are expressive in different ways.  I like how the pencil and brushes feel on paper or canvas, and seeing how my ideas come to life.  There is a feeling of accomplishment when a work is finished, and it makes me feel like what I do is valuable. In addition to painting, I also enjoy working with hand built ceramics, printmaking, and parts of digital art such as animation and photography. Art is calming, it’s my safe haven and a great way to cope.
