Cassandra Barney '(Re) Genesis' Smallwork
Cassandra Barney's portraits of women eloquently celebrate life's passages and journeys. Rich with symbolism both ancient and modern, (Re)Genesis explores the cycle of personal growth, particularly the way life can teach us the same lessons over and over as we age. As the vine arcs above the woman and her stag its red flowers burst into bloom and fade again, like lovely reminders of the impermanence of thought.

Cassandra Barney ' Blossoms of Change Quartet'
“These paintings are about progression,” says Cassandra Barney, “about moving into something different and evolving. Life is full of these moments of change and the figures in these paintings are striving for something.The quartet is about committing to an action rather than expecting an answer.”
Like the beautiful blossoms surrounding the figures, each painting is different—in fact, the four pieces had originally been intended for separate sale, but when Barney hung the paintings for a recent gallery show, she was amazed at how perfectly they worked together. “I realized that I was exploring some very similar themes as I painted these,” she says,“themes that I think a lot of women—and a lot of men, for that matter—can relate to: sacrifice, growth and striving to be the best possible person you can be.” Rather than the traditional blessings of poetry, dance or music, these extraordinary, elegant muses inspire us to grow, to change and to never give up.

Cassandra Christensen Barney 'Pandora'
Cassandra Barney evokes the emotions of the viewer through her frank, compelling portraits of the "muses" of our daily lives, with their soft, gentle eloquence and mysterious beauty.
Courting Pandora, Barney's recent show of original paintings, was based on the female archetype of Pandora who, according to legend, could not resist opening a mysterious box which unleashed evil on earth (but also contained "hope"). "I don't feel that Pandora was tricked into, or was naively curious about opening that box," says Barney. "Remember, she was the culmination of all the gods' gifts to man and not just some passive beauty. I think she intentionally brought the balance of good and evil into the world.
The elusive butterflies that flutter about Pandora, Etta and Ramona whisper of the women's passions, hopes and fears, inviting you into their intimate reflections. Displayed on their own, or combined with Cassandra's other works, these distinctive gems capture the simple eloquence of life's many moods.

There are also a pair of poppies entwined and waiting to blossom.

Cassandra Christensen Barney 'Adara And Her Sister'
Influenced by art of the 16th century and the princess postcards she collected as a child, Cassandra Christensen Barney loves the simple storytelling found in portraits. "I loved that the characters were not always pretty, but looked like regular people playing dress up," Cassandra says. "Ambiguous and poignant, they are not vain, not beautiful in the classic sense, unafraid to bare their melancholy and even show some sadness," she says. "Their beauty is in their simplicity, which easily allows the viewer in and to wonder what they are thinking."
Adara and Her Sister is rich in symbolism. The name Adara translates as "beauty," the butterfly is fragile and short-lived, and the vines which surround them subtly suggest the bonds of family

Cassandra Christensen Barney 'Four Spanish Sisters'
When I was a young girl, my first trip away from home on my own was to Murcia, Spain. Murcia is a very historic city, which offered me insight into everyday Spanish life, as well as their rich legacy of art. The Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, Phoenicians and Moors have all left their mark on Murcia. Founded in around 831 AD, the city is home to many beautiful cathedrals and palaces around its many narrow streets. Although I found myself on a wonderful journey, something was missing. But the friendship and comfort of the four Spanish sisters with whom I had stayed eased my homesickness.

Cassandra Christensen Barney 'Dora'
Red is one of my favorite colors.
When you first look at Dora, you're probably drawn to it by the background. The many meanings of the color red actually give us a few clues into Dora herself. Red is a stimulant that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions. I like red as confidence, happiness and prosperity. But red can also suggest power, refusing to sink into the background - even when it is the background, as is the case here.
Dora is not in front of this background by chance. Although she may look simply passive, the red suggests the fire inside her.
The meaning of her name is "gift of God
