about the artist
Cassandra M. Gillens is a self-taught artist,
residing in Beaufort, South Carolina. Born in Boston, Massachusetts. Cassandra was always creative and artistic. Her
earliest memories of drawing with colored chalks in Roxbury, Massachusetts
remained a part of her when she began to paint pictures depicting her early
childhood years. Cassandra's fondest memories of her visits to South Carolina
moved her to paint these visions of The Low country's comforting southern
culture. Cassandra Gillens dreamt of one day returning to the place that won
her heart and spirit, and upon her return, became closely connected with her
people and culture she so loved. Cassandra's paintings show that love with
vivid colors of the southern seasons and images of good old southern living.
Cassandra is a member of Beaufort Arts Association. Her art
can be found from all parts of the Low country, and various states throughout
America. Featured in dozens of newspapers and magazines such as Southern
Living Magazine . Cassandra won the
accolades of United Airlines, and was proudly featured in that magazine's
February edition. Her participation in PICCOLO SPOLETO ART EXHIBIT
resulted in a sell out. Cassandra is currently exhibiting at the Red Piano
Gallery on Hilton Head, SC, and Gallery Chuma in Charleston,
SC.
