 Artist Cassandra  Kendall grew up  on a ranch in San Diego, California, with a family of  artists  and  musicians. Including,  horses  and  many  exotic pets, such  as, parrots,  monkeys, skunks  and  reptiles. 

As  a  young  girl,  Kendall loved  to  draw and  take  photographs of all  the  things  that surrounded her  life.  These  experiences  lead  Kendall to study fine arts at Southwestern College and San Diego State University. 

Over the years  Kendall  worked with various mediums including acrylics, oil paints, film, digital photography, multimedia,  graphic design  and  three-dimensional design.  

“Creating  art felt natural to me.  By  nineteen  years  old, I was already a paid freelance  artist,” Kendall  explained,  “commissioned to photograph and/or  draw portraits  of  dogs,  cats,  horses,  and birds.“ 

Kendall  was  also  hired  to photograph  weddings,  customized  murals,  paintings, and  even upcycled vintage furniture. 


Throughout  the  millennium,  Kendall  continued  to master  Photoshop  editing, graphic  design and custom photo  albums.    Kendall managed  quality  control  over  her  artwork  in  order  to  execute  high-end  products and  service. Including custom matting  and  framing.    


By 2013, Kendall  had  photographed  over  five  hundred weddings  and corporate  events  gaining over ten thousand  hours  experience in  the  commercial  photography  field.  During  this  chapter,  she  also  worked  with  many  wonderful  people,  beautiful venues around  the world and talented  professionals  in  the  business.  

Now,  Kendall  is focused  on the  next  chapter  of  her  art  career  creating fine art  style  animal portraits and  contemporary  art.

Kendall is currently focused on commissioned  portraits,  as  well  as,  large scale 2D canvas paintings for gallery representation.  Her  favorite  mediums  to  work  with  are  graphite,   Faber-Castell polychromos color pencils  and  acrylic paints using earthy, complimentary colors  in  a magical  realism  style.  


Kendall  especially  likes  to create  imagery with  a  contemporary  edge,  depicting   figurative  life-art  and various  animals in dreamscapes,  whilst incorporating the mystique of ancient  arts,  fables and  Goddesses.  Imagery that reflects upon her own life experiences to convey compassion, mindfulness, love and feminine  vitality.


Throughout  the  year, Kendall  makes  time  to do commissioned  art,  specializing  in  artistic portrait  drawings, paintings  and photography.


However,  Kendall  dedicates  4-6  weeks  of  her  time to  complete  one  custom  portrait  and  photography  services.  

So,  availability is  limited.


If  you  have  an  idea  in  mind  for a  commisioned  portrait,  please  subscribe  to  Kendall’s  email   and  ask the  artist  for  a quote.  Currently, she  is booked-up but  has  availability  for  two more  commissions  during  November  2020.


“It is my mission to ignite imagination  and  invoke a sense of awe and wonder in the viewer. 

To  have  my works  of  art enjoyed  and viewed where people gather; in their homes, places of work and public spaces,  where  they  may gaze  upon  the  artwork ,  cherish  their  portrait  and feel  inspired.”
