Bio

Cassandra Anselmo, was born Cassandra Phillips on August 23, 1979.  Cassandra’s main passion is fine art photography, with areas of photographic interest ranging from architecture to figurative.  Her main artistic focus has become the female form, which expresses subtle Feminist undertones that stem from personal experiences.

The turning point in Cassandra’s photographic endeavors occurred when she met Professor, Robert Eginton.  Bob became her mentor and friend, instilling the photographic skills and principles that she exhibits in her work today.  As Bob’s teaching assistant Cassandra soon realized that she not only wanted to become a professional photographer, but also a teacher.  After Bob’s death, Cassandra promised herself that she would one day pick up where Bob left off, inspiring others in the art of photography.

Continuing her education, Cassandra received her BFA and MFA specializing in photography.  Cassandra became a photography instructor at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida.  Perfecting her art, Cassandra exhibits her photography at local shows and galleries.  Her career goal is to one day become a tenured professor while exhibiting her photography nationwide.
