Cassidy Barnes is an actor and visual artist hailing from Portland, Oregon. Mostly self-taught; he possesses minimal formal training, having only taken a few college-level art classes during high school. Despite his intense dedication to acting, art has always been a constant presence in his life, allowing him to explore photography, painting, sculpture, and collage. He describes his creations as often humorous and somewhat kitschy, blending elements of glam, pop, grunge, and wit. While some works may carry profound messages, they are always characterized by vibrant colors and a playful use of glitter. In his studio, Cassidy embraces and celebrates daydreaming, allowing his ideas to flow organically without a strict plan. Each piece he creates evolves naturally, reflecting his instincts and the essence of living art.
