Born in San Antonio, Texas and raised in the Texas Hill Country (with excursions to the Gulf Coast regularly) I fell in love with nature. I spent lots of time in California (all over the state) and now reside in Missouri. My happy place is behind the camera taking photos.

Parish Gallery

@ParishGallery

The Parish Gallery is a non-profit art space located within Trinity Episcopal Church at Euclid and Washington in the Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis.

This gallery is an outgrowth of a long-lived arts committee within the church, which has for many years mounted exhibits featuring the work of the talented artists within the church. Now, we are opening our doors to the St. Louis arts community, and offering all artists in the area the opportunity to exhibit their work in the new Parish Gallery. The Parish Gallery supports local and regional artists from all backgrounds, who work in a range of styles and mediums, from traditional to experimental. We seek artists whose works reflect the values of Trinity Episcopal Church, including social justice, community involvement, multiculturalism, intersectionality, spirituality, and regional history.

Dea Powers

@DeaPowers

Dea Powers is a St. Louis–based visual artist working in figurative and abstract painting. Her work explores transformation, embodiment, and the liminal space between shedding and becoming. Rooted in intuition and process, her practice prioritizes experience over narrative finality. Bold color palettes and expressive palette-knife techniques are frequently used and celebrated, creating layered surfaces that emphasize movement, texture, and emotional resonance. Her figurative work often depicts the body in states of transition—walking, turning, releasing—while her abstract work expands these themes through gesture and form, allowing meaning to emerge without constraint. Influenced by classical figurative foundations alongside contemporary abstraction, her work exists at the intersection of realism and the ethereal. Powers is also the founder of Empower Studios, a creative and healing space that integrates art and experiential practices. Her current body of work centers on themes of personal sovereignty, release, and the moment just before transformation fully reveals itself.
