Fern Cassidy was born in Oakland, CA, but grew up in Colorado. She enjoys traveling, the outdoors, and painting. Fern studied drawing and painting at CSU Long Beach; however, most of her experience comes from her personal practice. She works in all mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and gouache, but also enjoys experimenting with textiles and fiber arts. Exploring the interplay of colors and shapes, Fern finds inspiration in the beauty of daily life. As she notes, “Art is a means to preserve and find meaning in life.”
