Cassandra Hess was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in a family of all women, she had a strong urge to create a beautiful world that was only hers. Cassandra started creating art at a very young age. Always feeling compelled to work with her hands, she tried a variety of mediums to express the need to create. She fell in love with oil painting and the way the paint went on so velvety smooth, but ultimately keeping a love and open mind to all mediums. 

 

“My paintings are all about texture, vibrant colors and a feminine edge.  My goal is to create an atmosphere that draws you into another place where your imagination takes over and anything is possible. Painting my own reality to become true through the eyes of whoever sees it.”

 

Cassandra continues to discover and develop new joys in painting and never tires of it. From expressing art on canvas or with body painting, it all serves the purpose to be inspired and to create art that continues to inspire.  

 

"Art should be something that opens your mind, that creates conversation.  I create art to escape from the normal.  There is always learning and growth to be done and I must always follow the voice inside me that propels me to create."
