Christine Cassano is an artist whose interdisciplinary, research-driven practice explores the unseen forces and phenomena that shape our conscious experience. By marrying scientific inquiry with philosophical disciplines, Cassano creates complex visual systems that network internal worlds with external environments. Her work is accessible to audiences through paintings, assemblages, sculptures, soundscapes, and immersive installations. In the studio, her ongoing explorations of materials and sound are enlisted to create physical components that serve as both instrument and metaphor. Christine then weaves these components into networked systems to create intricate frameworks synthesizing objective reality and perceived existence.

Her curiosity of unseen worlds is a lifelong pursuit informed by her own neurological condition, Synesthesia, as well as a family history rooted in science, aviation, and astronomy. Cassano grounded her formal practice at Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her commitment to deep research has yielded career recognitions, including an Artist Research Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and a Contemporary Forum Artist Grant, which culminated in an exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum.

A frequent collaborator with institutions, Cassano’s portfolio includes an interactive community-based residency at the University of West Georgia and a published catalog supported by the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art. Her work has been exhibited internationally, from London’s Iklectic Arts to Currents New Media in Santa Fe, with recent solo museum exhibitions including BlackBox at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum and Sine Language at Ft. Lewis College.

Her large-scale installations and works are held in public and private collections, including the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Museum, Explora Science Museum, Wexford BioScience Technologies, and Marriott International.
