FEATURED ARTIST Terri St.Arnauld
Artist Statement
I'm a photographer working primarily with film negatives. Printing is done in my darkroom for Silver Gelatin (B&W), Platinum, and other historic printing processes. I also work digitally.
My most unique works are my woven platinum prints. These start as large-format negatives, usually 8x10 or 5x7. Two similar, but different negatives are chosen print, cut and weave together, rendering an image with a cubist look.

Location: First Presbyterian Church (see campus map below)

Topic: We’ll have a panel on Creating an Online Presence, some brief tips on prepping and keeping track of your artwork (we often hear "I don't remember what I signed up to bring"), and a super‑fun Art Supply Swap Meet. Bring your gently used supplies and pick up something new-to-you from fellow CAS artists. It’s a great way to connect, learn, and refresh your studio supplies.
