Cassie Adams Verified listing

My name is Cassie Adams, I am an artist and designer based in Raleigh, NC. Having lived half my life in North Carolina and the other half in the cities of New York and DC, my inspiration is rooted in the juxtaposition between nature and the urban landscape. Nothing brings me more joy than to capture the beauty of those two worlds using a combination of vibrant colors, layers, and patterns. I am particularly inspired by the feeling of summertime, the movement of the tides, and twilight when the lightning bugs come out. I work in several mediums and a couple years ago I embarked on marrying them in a digital format, thrilled with the the notion that these individual pieces could create something greater together. My process begins with hand cut paper and original paintings in acrylic and watercolor. I then photograph or scan sections of the physical paintings and cut paper pieces in order to enlarge, layer and arrange them. Often these are then combined with digital drawings done by hand with a stylus using mixed media elements from pencil and marker to pastel and oil crayon, creating beautifully layered works. I split my time between creating art and wearing my interior designer hat, designing colorful spaces for my clients and using my artwork to create patterns for my textile and wallpaper collections. When I'm not in my studio, you'll find me with my husband and two amazing little humans, often playing in the garden.
