I am Cassandra Merlihan, a Fine Arts graduate (Digital Arts Communications Minor, Digital Arts Specialization) of the University of Waterloo. I am a full time graphic designer for the Woolwich Observer in my hometown, Elmira, Ontario.
In my fine art practice I work with photography as my medium and mental health as my topic. Currently I am focused on self portraits and the use of the character Alice, from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland to convey my own experiences with mental health.
