CASSIDY MORRIS
VISUAL ARTIST
01 about
I am a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for creating unique and captivating pieces of art. With a degree in fine arts and experience with a wide variety of mediums and styles, I specialize in paintings of all sizes, including murals and large-scale public art installations. I am passionate about creating these larger-than-life projects, as they provide an opportunity for engagement with the public on a personal level.
From a very young age, my desire to paint realistic portraits drove me to hone my skills with the paintbrush. As such, over the course of my artistic career, my perspective on art has broadened and evolved. My styles range from the hyper-realistic to the abstract, including portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. I have worked with a variety of materials including paints, mixed media, printmaking and textiles. My use of bold imagery, vibrant colours, movement, and attention to detail, is what truly makes my work leave a lasting impression.
For me, the artistic process begins with a thorough understanding of the project's requirements and goals. I work closely with clients to ensure that the final product exceeds their expectations. With each piece I create, the conceptual elements play just as much of a role, as does the final product. Whether I am painting a canvas to be displayed in your family’s home, or a mural for your community to enjoy, the final product will leave a lasting impact on the viewer.
If you are looking for an artist to bring a project to life, please reach out to me to discuss a possible commission. Together, we can turn your wish for art into a reality.
