Artist Statement
Autumn Mae is the owner and operator of local artisan company Autumn In Mae, an interdisciplinary and multidimensional artisan company focusing on glass, metal, fine, photographic, craft, and urban art. Most of her images seek to create a dialogue regarding our evolution and place in society through iconography and psychogeographic ethnographies. Her art is intended to be more than just a three letter word. The images are created as a psychogeographic representation of her surroundings, as seen through a Nikon D3300 and recreated in pastel and paint; a visual ethnography in fine art form. Her images seek to initiate a dialog with the viewer through the use of traditional and nontraditional techniques.

Extinction Rebellion Series:
Since the age of industrialization our environment has been shaped by the marketplace and the consumer. Our landscapes have learned to echo the efficiency and evolution of the assembly line and horizontal marketing of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. As we choose to allow technology to “advance” and shape our environment, society and thus desires, we continue to devolve. This can be seen in the skies with a certain aestheticism that evokes an internal struggle between the evolving self and the defined corporeal citizen of the nation state. Who ate the sky, and can you blame them?

​President's Message

Picture
Dear CAS members,

Wishing you all a Happy New Year.  Looking forward to a productive and healthier new year.

Thank you to those who have already renewed their membership for 2022. We encourage those who haven't yet renewed to do so before March to avoid being dropped from our distribution list for calls for art, newsletters, meeting notices and announcements.  

We will continue to meet virtually for now. We will monitor the situation for the safety of our members and also availability of meeting space before we move away from virtual meetings. We have several ways to remain connected to the CAS family.  Please check out our CAS Facebook pages as well as our Members Resource page. Also, you can follow us on Instagram. 

Please mark your calendars for our first Virtual General meeting February 2nd, 2022 at 7 pm (networking starts at 6:30 pm).  Zoom and agenda information will be sent out later this month. 

I am honored and humbled to serve as your President for 2022 and will do my best to ensure the continued success of CAS.  Please feel free to reach out at president@creativeartssociety.org for any questions or suggestions.

Best wishes for a safe and creative New Year.

Shruti Mehta
