Casting Shaffer, a painter from Germany, shares his enriching experience as an artist in residence in St. Louis. Invited by Paul Art Space and the Kranzberg Arts Foundation, this is his second visit but his first deep dive into the local art scene.

Having a studio and loft in St. Louis allowed him to immerse himself in the community, meeting new people and discovering the local music scene, which inspired this project "Green Dream." This project emphasizes the power of human connection and unity, especially in times of crisis, highlighting the healing power of art and spirit.
