Artist Fern Cassidy was born in Oakland, CA but grew up in Colorado. She enjoys travelling, being outdoors, food and painting. Fern studied drawing and painting at CSU Long Beach where she learned a lot from professors that she trained under but most of her experience comes from her personal practise. She works in all mediums including oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache but also likes to experiment with textiles and fibre arts as well. Fern finds opportunities to explore and experiment with colours and shapes. She finds inspiration from daily life and the things around her. “Art is a means to preserve and find meaning in life”.
