Your Name is Safe in My Mouth Cassandra Christensen Barney Image Medium Method Edition Cert. Availability 23x9 inches Canvas Giclee Signed 75 LE Cert. Good Availability 25% OFF Framing! Unframed The rose has been used for centuries to convey messages without words. The Latin expression sub rosa (literally “under the rose”) means something told in secret, thus the rose has long been a symbol of confidentiality. The woman here sits sub rosa. Your Name is Safe in My Mouth means that she will never speak badly of you. This is means more than simply your-secrets-are-her-secrets. This painting is about discovering the trust in love because having trust in a partner is invaluable. Nothing that will hurt the ones you love should come from your mouth. It is one way of honoring the people that you care about. The flower she holds is the lily of the valley. Some think this flower is referred to in Song of Songs: 2.1 ("…a lily among thorns"), concerning the idea that the true path is able to thrive in even the harshest environment. This flower also carries with it the sentiment, "You will find happiness." In either case, this woman’s relationship will thrive because she chooses to base it on honor and trust.

My Fate is Not Your Fate Cassandra Christensen Barney Image Medium Method Edition Cert. Availability 15x20 inches Canvas Giclee Signed 100 LE Cert. Good Availability 25% OFF Framing! Unframed The figures in Cassandra Christensen Barney's paintings have the grace of angels, the enigmatic gazes of sphinxes and a history stretching back through millennia of mythology and literature. Inspired by portraiture of the sixteenth century, Barney has brought us such portraits as Demetria, Eve and Pandora. Her newest piece however, My Fate is Not Your Fate, draws on "the collective unconscious-what we all share and what is common to all of us." The two women in My Fate is Not Your Fate represent the fork in a lifelong road. As children, they may have shared similar experiences, but in adulthood their paths take different directions. Although they stand beside one another as they have for years, their postures indicate alternative possibilities. We all may share many common threads but, says Barney, "we don't all have to want the same thing."

Only Eve Could Hear the Bird's Love Song Cassandra Christensen Barney Image Medium Method Edition Cert. Availability 15x30 inches Canvas Giclee Signed 100 LE Cert. Good Availability 25% OFF Framing! Unframed Listen. Can you hear it. That little tune in the air, a simple reminder to stop and smell the roses - or perhaps, a clue to the meaning of life itself. Each of us are given little gifts, moments that make us see the people, places and experiences which comprise our world in a whole new way. In Cassandra Barney's latest limited edition, Eve is experiencing one of those moments. She appears doe-eyed, lost in her own song, as her companions stare at the viewer. It is the beauty of Cassandra's charming women, combined with this evergreen message, that gently remind us to look and listen to the little moments.

Beauty Cassandra Christensen Barney Image Medium Method Edition Cert. Availability 18x9 inches Canvas Giclee Signed 100 LE Cert. Very Low Availability 25% OFF Framing! Unframed Influenced by art of the 16th century, artist Cassandra Christensen Barney loves the narrative aspect of portraits. Each of Barney’s truly unique paintings is a frank, compelling and often mysterious portrait of the “muses” of our daily lives. The feminine charms of her characters have captured the attention of the sophisticated fine art collector. (Two of Cassandra’s first releases, Dora and Four Spanish Sisters, have Sold Out at Publisher.) The Bridesmaids unveils a whimsical trio getting ready to participate in the wedding party. Possibly posed for a snapshot,snapshot, this moment in time captures each of their personalities as they find themselves caught in a moment of contemplation. The truth is... you can’t say for sure what exactly Cassandra Barney’s bevy of painted ladies are thinking, but these three undoubtedly conjure suggestions of joy and anticipation. Whether displayed singly, or in combination with others from Cassandra’s collection, her latest pair of releases, Beauty and The Bridesmaids, continue a tradition of enchantment.
