Cassandra Gillens

Is a self-taught artist, residing in Beaufort, South Carolina. Born in Boston, Massachusetts.  Cassandra was always creative and artistic. Her earliest memories of drawing with colored chalks in Roxbury, Massachusetts & have remained a part of her when she began to paint pictures depicting her early childhood years.

Cassandra's fondest memories of her visits to South Carolina moved her to paint these visions of The Lowcountry’s comforting southern culture. Cassandra Gillens dreamt of one day returning to the place that won her heart and spirit, and upon her return, became closely connected with her people and culture she so loved. Cassandra's paintings show that love with vivid colors of the southern seasons and images of good old southern living.

Cassandra is a member of Beaufort Arts Association.  Featured in dozens of newspapers and magazines such as Southern Living Magazine.  Cassandra won the accolades of United Airlines, and was proudly featured in that magazine's February edition.  Her participation in PICCOLO SPOLETO ART EXHIBIT resulted in a sell out.  Most recently, Cassandra Gillens has received the honor of her artwork being displayed as a backdrop in the movie Nights in Rodanthe starring actors Diane Lane and Richard Gere.
