About the Artist

Cassidy Noel Palmer is a graphite specialist, creating her style through her texturing techniques, eraser work, and attention to detail. She has a keen interest in depicting facial expressions, and takes particular delight in illustrating hands and feet. She has been drawing since early childhood; a fascination with traditional 2D animation developed into a lifelong interest in creating character- and creature-oriented fantasy art.

A few of the artists who have influenced Cassidy in particular include Norman Rockwell, Frank Frazetta, and Allen Williams. The literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien, R.A. Salvatore, Philip Pullman, and Michael R. Miller have also helped strengthen her passion for the fantasy genre, as have Dungeons & Dragons and Magic the Gathering.

In addition to her own independent work, she occasionally accepts select contract projects. Some of these include fantasy fine art illustrations, wildlife illustrations, book covers and header illustrations, as well as character design and development.

Cassidy and her husband are currently at work on a cel-animated short in support of their main project, an independent animated fantasy series they have had in development since 2018. Compiled materials for this project include animatics, pencil tests, concept artwork, detailed story treatment, and extensive work with voice actors and sound editing. This series will be a cel-animated production.

When not travelling for conventions and art shows, Cassidy resides in Colorado with her husband John and their two children.
