Immerse Yourself in Art
Visit the dimensional art installations by Cassandra Carillo. Cassandra Carrillo is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist working as a graphic designer, painter, muralist and sculptor. By fusing her knowledge of character art, with her interest in metaphysical philosophy she has created an art form of satirical portraiture that exhibits spiritual duality. She continues to feature artwork in galleries across California, as well as collaborate with local artists in new mediums along the way.
