About Casey

To me, art-making is an intensely personal expression of self. A process of manifesting something from deep within. It begins as a feeling in the body, a current of energy that begs to be released. It yearns, it aches, it moves through me until it finds form. In that sense, creating feels like both a necessity and a relief, a way of letting my consciousness witness itself. If I go too long without making art, it eats at me. Looking back, drawing and painting may have been my earliest forms of self-regulation. But more than that, they’ve always been my way of being.

Each piece I make is a mirror of my humanity, of emotion, depth, and embodied experience. My work explores the human form, color, and expression through a process that begins with acrylic

paint and movement-based mark-making. From there, I delve into color, sensuality, and emotion through expressive figure drawing and painting. My palette is informed by modalities such as Spiral Dynamics and the Chakra system, reflecting the interconnectedness of psychological and energetic development.

My creative process unfolds in two phases. The first: being loose and physical, an intuitive, embodied release where I let the materials and movement guide me. Paint marbles across canvas, markers blur into shape; I let go and let flow. Then comes the second phase: the refinement. The analytical part of me steps in to find structure and meaning, to make sense of what has emerged. I take the challenge l’ve created for myself and see what it’s asking me to learn.

This dance between freedom and form mirrors my own inner process, a reflection of my curiosity, my emotions, and my need for balance between surrender and control. As I’ve grown older, l’ve started caring less about control and more about simply being. When I was younger, I feared losing my imagination or becoming ordinary, so I created it as if it were my only legacy. Now, creation itself feels like the act of staying alive… of staying connected to what’s real.

Ultimately, my work is a celebration of being human. Of all our complexities, our tenderness, and our truth. If my art can bring someone a moment of resonance, reflection, or light, then that is the impression I hope to leave: that through creativity, we can touch the shared pulse of our humanity.
