Please leave me your feedback and ideas here! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2442066/fan_mail/new] Cassandra Buck never met an art medium she didn't love. She is a painter, muralist, jewelry-maker, weaver, embroiderer, and more - and she often combines those traditional mediums in untraditional ways.  Cassandra is not one of those artists who secludes herself in her studio. She is truly out there - leading community art projects, organizing exhibits for artists, teaching classes, and being a businesswoman running her vintage shop.  Cassandra Buck Website [https://cassandrabuck.net/]
