About Cassie
Cassie Howington was born in San Luis Obispo, California, raised in Canton/Massillon, Ohio and currently lives in Southern Nevada.
Inspired by her mother several years ago, she began painting canvases for therapy and enjoyment. Cassie is a physically challenged, self-taught, abstract expressionist artist whose work portrays the non-objective of visual reality. Her use of color and texture conveys her emotions to the canvas, which depicts elements of the natural world and interesting images that are open to one’s own interpretation.
Gold and copper metallic and pearlescent colors weave highlights of shine and shimmer throughout many of her paintings.
Because of limitations with her hands, she is largely dependent on creating her unique style of fluid pours along with other acrylic mediums, through utilizing different tangible objects instead of brushes.
"Before I begin painting, I listen to music… a combination of genres from contemporary electronic music to classic rock, and in between. This opens my mind to freely create, which takes me a world away from my daily physical challenges." Enjoy!

Reviews
In the past 14 years, I've photographed so many amazing people, places, and things. It's always a huge honor to capture another artist's work, giving them a way to showcase their creations to a broader audience. There's something really special about preserving the artwork they've poured their heart into so more people can experience and appreciate them.
I've had the privilege of photographing Cassie Howington's artwork for the past couple of years, and each time, I'm amazed by her talent.
Cassie is an abstract artist who creates the most beautiful, expressive pieces—full of movement, depth, and color. Her work has this way of pulling you in, making you feel something, and letting your mind interpret it in your own way. And the way she creates? Completely unique. Instead of traditional brushes, she uses different tangible objects to bring her vision to life, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.
But honestly, words don't do her work justice. You have to see it. If you love art that speaks without saying a word, you're going to love what she creates.
This weekend I found this amazing piece of art. I couldn't wait to hang it in my home.
Cassie is an incredible artist and has some amazing pieces.
