ABOUT
|
Cassandra Liuzzo is a mixed-media artist and art educator based in Lawrence, Kansas.
Driven by the inherent conflict of creating new objects in a world that already has an abundance of things, Cassandra has grown up to internalize her old Girl Scout maxim “Use Your Resources Wisely.” Many of Cassandra’s processes are based on inventing uses for old and found materials, often incorporating leftover bits of former projects, studies, and personal mementos. Whether she is creating an abstracted personal narrative, fondly referred to as “Indiscriminate Storytelling,” or practicing social critique, her works evoke absurdity, contradiction, and memories lost-and-found. Cassandra has nearly 20 years of experience facilitating art lessons with youth, teens, and older adults (ages 1-104), and she has completed art & home/studio organizing projects for individuals, schools, and local businesses. For 10 years, she owned and operated Shelf Life Art & Supply Co., a new-and-used art supply store in Greensboro, North Carolina (2014-2020) and online (2020-2024). Cassandra is currently pursuing her Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) in Textiles from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. |

*A note on the "Rejections" section of my CV:
As an art educator who has talked to hundreds of artists of all ages and skill levels, I believe that my responsibility is to be transparent, not only about materials, technique, and creative process, but also about the effort that goes in to pursuing opportunities and achievements. This uncommon inclusion is not intended to be negative, but rather, serves as a documentary for myself and for anyone who might learn something from my artistic practice over time.
