Cassie Arnold–Mother of 3
Denton, Texas

Cassie's work explores the unspoken and taboo topics connected to life as a woman and caregiver. By using traditional fiber techniques, like hand knitting, she hopes is to challenge and change the cultural narrative that attempts to define femininity. Her own experiences are reflected in each piece so that all people feel welcome to engage in an open and unashamed dialogue. Stitch by stitch, her goal is to push back against the stereotypes surrounding females, their bodies, their work, their capabilities, and their lives.

Cassie received her BFA in Visual Art Studies from the University of North Texas. She has spent the last decade teaching in both private and public secondary schools and has showcased her work in Fiberart International where she received First Prize, Ashurst Art Prize in London, Mother Art Prize in London, Birth Rites Collection at Kings College, Fantastic Fibers International Exhibition, and numerous other Fine Art exhibitions around the United States and Europe. Cassie's work has also been featured in international publications such as Maker's Magazine's Women's Issue, Friend of the Artist, SLEEK Magazine in Berlin, Vogue Russia, Glamour Brazil, and Fiber Art Now's Excellence in Fibers Exhibition. Cassie, her partner, and three kids live, work, and play in Denton, Texas.
