About Cassie King

I like to do artwork to empower people! I’ve done pieces on womens periods to help women feel less embarrassed about their period. I’ve painted alot of topless people of different races with no head on the piece just to show that we all have nipples and women should not be sexualized because their breast has more tissue. I want equality for all, I don’t want anyone to feel shame. I’ve done alot of pride pieces too just to support the lgbtq community. I’ve done a few naked pieces as well. I am inspired easily by everyone around me even something on the tv or a random person in a grocery store.

Growing up I drew a lot with pencil and sharpie, I was inspired to start painting by a friend who told me if I can draw, I can paint. I’m from Charleston West Virginia and I live in Nitro today.
