Hey y'all! Mi nombre es Cassandra, la cara bonita behind CGARZA ARTE. I was born & raised in the Rio Grande Valley (Puro 956). I attended the University of Iowa, where I graduated in 2017 with a B.A. in Studio Arts. During my years at Iowa I dabbled in murals, custom graduation caps, mini art displays, t-shirt designs, paintings, and more. Tengo mi arte permanente en the Latino Native American Cultural Center en la Universidad de Iowa, and it has become the focal point of the building entrance.

I've been a creative soul desde chiquita, and all I ever did was make things: I bake, craft, draw, paint, and reimagine. My art embodies Texas, Mexican, and Latinx culture. Basically all that I am. Soy el paquete completo. Here, we celebrate all things Latinx, all day every day. All items are hand drawn, hand painted, and created by me. My art has been described by others as "a love story of our culture."

Now, you can find me in my element creating art for non profits, schools, and local organizations here in Austin, Texas.
