About

From Little Saigon to Living Art

Cassandra is a California-based watercolor and mixed media artist who brings her love of California's native plants, animals, and wild spaces into your home with her joyful and vibrant use of color.

Cassandra grew up in Southern California’s Little Saigon, received her Bachelor of Science degree in landscape architecture and a minor in fine arts at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She now resides in Northern California where she practices her art in watercolor and mixed media.

Growing up in the concrete environment of Orange County, Cassandra didn’t explore much of California until she went to San Luis Obispo for her undergraduate degree. It was here she discovered the delight and beauty of California native plants, and they became her vegetal passion.

California’s unique environment and her work as a restoration ecologist and landscape architect with a California flood management agency continues to inspire her artwork. When she isn’t working her day job checking on the levees, she can be found exploring California's outdoor spaces, spending time with friends and family, and creating her art in Studio 2 at ARTHOUSE Gallery & Studios in the historic R Street corridor in Sacramento.
