Christine Cassano is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is a continuous exploration of the idea that encoded information exists through our interconnected and unseen universe. She was born in Corpus Christi, TX and raised in Virginia Beach, VA. Strong family ties to aviation, science and NASA fostered her curiosity for a deep understanding of our world and beyond. She attended and holds a fine arts degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University. These influences have resulted in her artistic practice being an intentional convergence of scientific, philosophical and cosmological disciplines. After college she relocated to the Southwest to purse a life in the arts. After two decades in Phoenix, Arizona she now lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Christine was the recipient of an Artist Research Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. She was awarded a Contemporary Forum Artist Grant and an exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum, supported in part by the Nathan Cummings Foundation Endowment. She has been awarded a residency at the University of West Georgia, which included an interactive community-based installation project that is now part of the college’s permanent collection. Christine is also a recipient of the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art Grant, resulting in a published artist catalog of her work.

Lewis College in Durango, CO; Litmus at Gebert Contemporary in Scottsdale, AZ; Recursions at Artspace and BlackBox at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, AZ; and Threading Conjecture at Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art in Phoenix, AZ.
