Visceral images for philosophical purpose...
Cassie is a young freelance filmmaker, illustrator, and model from Portland, Oregon whose work has ranged from dark and philosophically confronting to quirky and clever. As a conqueror and crusader of many art forms for six plus years, she is now described as possessing a dark and fascinating aesthetic sense and her film direction and illustration work have been called mesmerizing and haunting. Cassie is able to provoke the melancholy and chilling aspects in art, film and fashion, as well as able to make the unnerving undeniably beautiful.
"My shop started on a busy musty street on a summer day in Portland circa 2010. I was completely distraught in college, as I was attending blindly and denying my creative desires, so I took it all out on canvas for two years. So I had a collection of paintings that were in need of new homes, as they were overflowing in mine. I set them out on the sidewalk at an art festival, not expecting anything in particular. I sold all of my paintings, along with a few sketches, and went home feeling as if I had touched people. Since then I have expanded, in the hopes that what I make will have an affect on people. Whether it be the last piece of wall art in a couple's new home, a reminder in a student's dorm to not deny their creative impulses, or using proceeds to benefit charities - all of it matters to me.
I love only having to answer to myself and my customers. I love caring about what I do and being able to combine life and work. And I love the appreciation I receive from my customers, whether it be intentional or unintentional support.
So thank you in advance, and I hope to please all of you, as I make your needs my utmost priority."
