I am a part of the “Rooted in Nature” gallery show at Green Root Gallery. Opening reception is Sept. 05, 4 – 7 pm and runs till November 02.

Soulard Art Gallery’s Politically Incorrect Correct show, from August 8 to September 12, 2025, features an artwork by Paula Homan. The mixed media piece is based on quotes and visual references to William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, addressing tribalism, the battle to be the strongest voice, and how power slips or flips with unexpected consequences. The position of chief is precariously held only as long as favorable circumstances allow. Mob mentality can undercut a chief’s rule with chaotic and deadly results.

I am asking all artists to help compile a list of local and online resources to create a free digital and physical resource list to be placed on the GEAG website and available at meetings. Any information you’d like to help grow this list will be helpful, and can include any cities/areas within a 100-mile radius of Belleville. If you do provide information, please give a small, detailed explanation of how or why this is beneficial for artists.  Feel free to contact me at @nocturnalveilart on Instagram or Facebook, or email me at nocturnalveilart@gmail.com. I appreciate any resources provided.
