"After Midnight" 24x30" oil on canvas, is a neo-noir style portrait painting exploring mood, mystery, and quiet introspection. Recently completed as part of advanced portrait studies with Daria Callie, this work reflects a deepening exploration of light, color, and atmospheric storytelling. Currently curing. Original painting available August 2026.
"So Long, La Vie en Rose", 34x48" oil on canvas. In Progress
A portrait study from Daria Callie’s class "Andria", 11x14 oil on wood panel, is a foundational piece where Cassidy fell in love with painting skin tones, soft edges, and capturing presence. The white Lily and turquoise background felt like the perfect balance of strength and softness.
"Ama's Angels" 24 × 36”, oil on canvas, is a tender portrait of two young girls seated on a calm, dark horse, watched over by their grandmother, Ama. Soft light filters through green foliage as white doves glide above, suggesting peace, protection, and a quiet, enduring bond between generations.
