About the Artwork:

“I honestly was really in the mood to paint a pig, so when I came across a portrait by Robert Peake I realized that it would be the perfect inspiration to paint a pig as the original sitter in Peake’s portrait had a somewhat bored arrogant look to her so I thought it would be entertaining to try to match that expression in a pig. Mine ended up more amused instead of bored, but it still works. I also restored an antique frame for this piece, the frame cleaned up beautifully and is a great partner to the painting.” – Cassandra Kim

She is a Virginia native and 2003 BFA Illustration graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University, and worked as a muralist and graphic artist for Trader Joes for 14 years. In 2013, the Klondike Gold Rush National Park and Chilkoot Historical Site awarded Cassandra with an artist residency. In 2018 Cassandra turned her focus to her personal art full-time. She has been in exhibits across the United States and internationally.
