Casi Fordham is a long time resident of Asheville, North Carolina, and member of the downtown community. She is a self taught artist with a knack for working with her hands. If she isn’t painting or knitting, she’s chasing her young son, Wilder, the inspiration for much of her work. Her studio is located at Wedge Studios in the heart of Asheville’s River Arts District.

I fell in love with watercolor as a medium because it’s how I see in my dreams. My paintings bring the charm of the natural world indoors. I’ve always had a strong connection to the woodland life, and its treasures; to capture their uniqueness is the gift that defines my art. I hope to inspire others to see the magic in fauna and flora with my work, and to give a renewed appreciation for the greatness we call nature in The Blue Ridge Mountains.
