About
Cassie Loretta (Cardiello) is a mixed media artist based in Butte, Montana. Her primary art form over the past several years has been a combination of pen and ink, gesso, acrylic paint, and imitation gold leaf on wooden canvases that her dad makes. She paints pictures of the landscape of Montana and adds playful textile inspiration to each piece.
She opened an art, home, and vintage shop called Dandelion Salad in November 2024 where she creates and sells her artwork as well as curates the shop filled with other Montana makers and quality goods. You can visit her shop and see her process in person at 21 N. Main St. Butte, MT. You can also see her artwork at shops and pop up events around the state (see below for upcoming events).
