Episode 2: Cassandra Clark
Friends, you are going to love my conversation with Cassandra (Cassie) Clark for episode 2 of the Creative Impact Podcast! Cassie is a visual artist whose focus is illustration. She has a master’s degree in counseling from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Cassie shares how visual art has been a part of her story from a young age and takes us through her journey as an art major and then building her own business. We chat about the high points and low points of that process, and how she ended up pursuing her master’s in counseling. One of my favorite parts of our conversation is her description of how art and counseling are closely related. Check out her Etsy shop and current projects at the links below! Cassie’s story is a reminder to be faithful in the daily work. In her words, “Don’t be afraid of being humbled in your craft.”

About Cassie:
Cassandra Clark, a Mississippi native now based in Connecticut, is an illustrator who enjoys living quietly and working with her hands. You can often find her in a large-windowed corner studio at the top of her staircase, sketching out and imagining her next project. In 2011, Cassandra graduated with her B.A. in Visual Arts. From there, she moved home to Laurel, Mississippi, to teach art classes and to draw the historic downtown neighborhood where she grew up. It was then that her studio was born.
After moving to Louisville, Kentucky, in 2013, she was commissioned by The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Covenant Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary, The Gathering, Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, Reformed Heritage Books, Shepherd Press, and Jonathan Shull Design for various illustration projects. In 2019, she moved to Connecticut, and continues her business there. Cassandra has worked on various publications, as well as keeping up more private commissioned projects.
