FEATURED ARTISTS

Martha Kull
Artist Statement
Martha grew up dreaming of being a visual artist. However, Martha's first career started as a college student working for NASA on various aspects of the space program. She spent many years in the high tech world, but retained her wonder of the vast universe and her dream expressing that wonder as a visual artist. For Martha, creating art is like assembling a layered puzzle from an idea where the puzzle pieces are memories, photos, and painted brushstrokes. She may create a collage which combines various photo fragments, decorative papers, and painted sections. Or she may create a painting solely using acrylic paint, pens, or colored pencils – she just goes wherever her muse takes her. Martha's paintings are imagined, but somewhat representational scenes, many that transport the viewer back or forward in time to capture the feel of places she has been or imagined..

​President's Message

Hello CAS creative community!Thank ya'll so much for what ya'll put into this creative organization.  There are so many reasons why an organization like ours, an organization centered around the showing and sharing of art should falter during trying times, during something, say, like a global pandemic in which people do not go out to see or share art!  As a volunteer-managed nonprofit creative arts organization I think that our success owes a lot to our perseverance and motivation as a creative group.  Equipped with the motivation to keep creating and sharing art during a global pandemic that changed the way innumerable organizations operate, or ceased to operate, we are here and on solid ground.

Emerging from the pandemic with this creative group in a place of stability leaves me super excited to see what the coming year will bring!  I am looking forward to getting back to what we do best in full:  creating, showing and sharing art together.

R.J. Armstrong
