ORIGINAL ARTWORK BY 

CASSANDRIA BLACKMORE 

“Shattering the Conventional”

Laguna parent and artist Cassandria Blackmore takes an unconventional 

approach to painting, which manifests itself in exquisite and elegant 

beauty. Cassandria’s work is reverse painted on glass that is 

subsequently shattered and reassembled. Each piece uniquely blends 

the fluidity of painting, the tactile qualities of sculpture and the refractional 

nature of glass. It is the essence of breaking down an image and 

restoring it to another version of itself that intrigues the artist and viewer.
Some of her recent commissions include a large scale permanent 

installation for the lobby of the new Waldorf Astoria, The Crocker Art 

Museum Permanent Collection, MGM Center, and Floyd and Delores 

Jones Playhouse.

 

•The name of the piece is “Nerissa Amphitrite,” which translates to 

“Sea Goddess.”
