Who is Cassidy Jenkins?
I am a 25 year old gal living in Columbus, OH hoping to find a way to create community through my art and my letters!
Art has always been intertwined in my life. Finding its way into the most meaningful pieces of my story, I have found comfort in the way it has moved me through places and grief... and I am finally ready to start sharing it!
More About Me
I've always had a big heart and a lot of love to share with the world and my art has always been a way to try and communicate that, but it was also sacred to me. A way to navigate the grief of those I've lost and the joy of those I've gained, it made sense to keep it just for me - like it was the most beautiful aspect of myself that no one could take away or change. But as I began my post-college life surrounded by the pressure of a traditional path and the voices of all the things that never made sense for me, I created. I created letters to myself. I created art in my home that brought comfort and peace. I created a world where there was a possibility for me to do something meaningful. And over time, I slowly built a life surrounded by voices that did make sense to me. The voices of people who supported me, encouraged me, and ultimately convinced me that what I had to say and what I could create meant something.
I believe that we are but a culmination of those that we have encountered in our life, the good and the bad and the angels in between. And that's what this website is - a beautifully chaotic culmination of art and letters inspired by the people and places who have shaped me.
Whether you're here to find a piece of art to represent that for you too, or to join "The Grief Letters" in a journey of self discovery and joy after loss...I'm grateful you're here and I hope to be a part of your story too.
