Cassandra Benevento (United States, 1994) is receiving a B.F.A. in Painting with a minor in Business Management from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in the spring of 2016. She constructs small and large-scale mixed media works using organic materials like wood and beeswax.
Benevento’s paintings are an observation and reflection of the ecological surroundings she is most attracted to - the boundaries and transitional landscape that exists where water integrates with land. Presently, she is developing an expansion project to her Fossilized Series, utilizing environmentally nurturing processes in order to better engage with these observations. |
