Artist Bio
Hi! My name is Cassidy, but feel free to call me Cas. I am currently Living in New York pursuing my creativity. I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art with a minor in Art Entrepreneurship.
I enjoy making all types of traditional artwork, I find it so fun that I can’t just stick to one. I am also a stylist and creative director, working in fashion and photography. I am open to collabing on basically any project!!
Other than art, I love my friends and family, animals, and music artists such as David Bowie, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, My Chemical Romance, and Lady Gaga.
I grew up in Clearwater, Florida, and I currently reside in Brooklyn.
Cassidy Millhouse is a multimedia and multidisciplinary artist.
Currently, their practice consists of small realistic crosshatched sketches with colorful add ons. This aims to bring smiles to peoples faces and is very enjoyable. They have done multiple commissions in this fun whimsical style as well as many other projects ranging from small graphite pet portraits, to hand painted shoes, to giant Pokémon paintings.
Other work they sell involves printmaking to create handmade designs that consist of bright colors and positive messages. Most of these prints include animals and nature and aim to spread joy and knowledge.
Their paintings document their journey of self-discovery and gender identity, exploring the idea of the disconnection of the human body and soul. They create this art to make people feel less alone, to make a change, and to express and dissect their own identity. Most of their inspiration for these pieces comes from their own experience with gender, and a few dark surrealist painters such as Zdzislaw Beksinki and Jon Silent. They often use oil paint in their work and add texture to create dimension.
They do a lot of styling, photography, and creative direction work as well, working for magazines, and always bring a colorful spin on the photoshoots they work on. This includes drawing out outfit and clothes design ideas, using clothing from their own closet, shopping for secondhand sustainable clothes, or even sewing together their own pieces. For the shoots they have directed, they lean toward these colorful images that come together to tell a story of found family in queer spaces.
Cas’s artwork is continuously evolving and changing, and they intend to continue expanding their creative horizons.
