About

Cassandra Arnold is an Australian abstract painter based in Ballarat, in regional Victoria.She paints imagined landscapes — not places, but states of feeling. Each work begins without a plan, evolving through layering and exploration to create a space shaped by light, memory, and emotion. Although the paintings often suggest land and sky, they are not based on specific locations. They form from memory, attention, and a deep sense of connection to the natural world, offering moments of pause, reflection, and belonging.Her paintings sometimes emerge in conversation with her own writing - a line of poetry, a phrase that holds a particular quality of light or feeling.Her practice has been shaped by more than a decade living near the Canadian Rockies, and a recent return to Australia — a homecoming that has quietly reoriented her work toward new terrain, both literal and emotional.A current member of the Contemporary Art Society of Victoria, Cassandra has exhibited in group shows in Australia and abroad, and was previously a member of the Society of Canadian Artists. Her work is held in private collections across Australia, Canada, the UK, and France."When I’m not in the studio, you’ll likely find me wandering the world, gathering wild moments of colour and light that eventually find their way into my art."


My studio sits on the unceded lands of the Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples.
I acknowledge their deep and enduring care for and connection to this Country—the land, the waters, and the skies—
and pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Commissions
I welcome the opportunity to create custom pieces that resonate with your specific space and story.
Rather than creating exact replicas, I work in the "spirit" of my previous series,
focusing on a particular movement, palette, or "state of feeling" you have connected with.
The No-Pressure Either Way promise
I want the process of collaboration to be as joyful for you as it is for me.
If we reach the end of a commission and the final piece doesn’t quite resonate with you,
there is no obligation to purchase. It simply means that particular work is waiting for a different home.
