Cassandra Harrison

Print and Textile Artist

<p>Very simply, I love to create artwork. More importantly, I live to create artwork that is enjoyed by others. Whether it&#8217;s a simple scene from a much loved city, or an illustration chalk full of vivid colours, I must create. As my friend says, I have joined in &#8216;the war against ugly&#8217; with my small creations.</p> <p>My background: I am from Nebraska. I love that prairie state, those tornado crushed grain silos and the agonizingly hot summer days. It was during my long hot summer breaks that I began to take my art seriously and would therefore spend evenings and weekends drawing, sketching, adding colours to things, drawing on my trainers, scribbling, doodling and even setting up still life displays to draw. Honourable Mentions, Silver Keys, and Gold Keys were won out of this constant act of creating.</p> <p>After graduating from uni with honours in Fine Art and Art Education, I visited the teaching circuit for two years then moved to the UK. With a slew of commissioned art pieces, an illustrated children&#8217;s book and my own business feeding my creative urges, I finally decided to commit some of this making out-put onto art for walls.</p> <p>I currently live in the fascinating city of Edinburgh. My work can be viewed as well as purchased (ooh lala) from the Hannah Zakari shop, 43 Candlemaker Row.</p>
