Casey Baugh

Casey Baugh's work can be described as narrative impressionistic realism. Specializing in oil paint and charcoal, he began painting at the age of 13 and began selling professionally at age 17. When he was only 21 years old, Baugh began showing in galleries and after four years of studying with artist Richard Schmid, he had his first solo show at age 25. He has made several television appearances and has been featured on the covers of many publications, including The Artist's Magazine, American Artist's Magazine, and American Art Collector.

On a constant quest to push new boundaries, he is persistent in experimenting with his inspirations and artistic translations, pursuing more complicated compositions and achieving grander shows. Experience with electrical engineering as well as video and movie-making has attributed greatly in his use of props, set building, lighting, and translates to the overall harmony of his visual layouts.

Audrey Vardanega

Praised as a “[musically] eloquent” (San Francisco Classical Voice) player “with the kind of freedom, authority, and strength…that one expects from the world’s finest pianists” and a “bewitching musical presence,” American pianist and arts entrepreneur Audrey Vardanega has performed as a solo and collaborative pianist across Europe, China, and the United States.

In response to her passion for bringing artists together for opportunities for performance, the creation of new work, and interdisciplinary collaboration, Audrey founded Musaics of the Bay in 2019.

Darby Wagner

Darby's personal and professional musings are dedicated to the art of “cultivating the senses”—an ethos coincidentally shared by The Autumn Salon. Intimacy, to her, is the touchstone of any significant experience. And it is an essential element to the way she brings people together.

When she’s not busy hosting gatherings, directing a wine club (Infinite Mixtape), digging for new music, experiencing places for the first time or anew, or engaging with her various communities, Darby leads &Holiday’s hospitality program, along with Wine Director, Toussaint Stackhouse. Nestled in the mezzanine of KREWE eyewear's brand new flagship store in NYC's Meatpacking District, a cozy parlor (with a working fireplace and skylight) awaits guests.  The centerpiece: a borderless natural wine program that celebrates native grape varieties and the lesser known regions and producers of the wine world—the b sides and rarities. The best of the best.
