Bio
Karlee Stapf
Cassidy is determined, passionate, and a hard-worker when creating art, as well as, other areas of her life. She is open-minded and curious about various facets of life, which allows her to communicate and empathize with those around her. In our world, we need people who can think creatively and critically about problems, and I believe these are two of Cassidy's strongest skills. I have seen Cassidy take a situation and look at it from a different perspective and then break it down into manageable parts in order to overcome it. With all of these skills, I know Cassidy will bring about a lot of positive change through the conversations her artwork brings about.
