Self-Portrait, Copyright 1993-1995 by Cassendre Xavier. 19 ¾” x 24” Acrylic paint on canvas.
When I saw this, I was struck by how Haitian it looks.

I painted and/or drew these images between 1985 & 2005.
I use acrylic on canvas; watercolor, markers, chalk, and/or pencil on paper.
I am currently working on expanding my collection of paintings and drawings, including sculpture, and I hope to someday have a group or solo exhibit.

Crafts
Mail Art
I used to do mail art as a teenager and in my mid-to late 20s. Now, I am so busy that just writing regular paper letters is "artful" enough :-)
Stationery
(See above.)
Friendship Bracelets
I used to make them for fun and art therapy. Now I feel it's time to up the anty and get to knittin' instead.
Candles
Used to make and sell them. My candles were featured in a Philly shop, and did well at festival vending tables. After I realized it would take too much time to really make a business out of them, I gave them away to friends the ones I have left.
Hair Art!
I like to wrap string and put jewelry in mine and other funky people's hair :-)
