'Shadowed Souls' to go on exhibit at St. Charles' Ghoulish Mortals July 23-24

Tracy Whiteside's Dark Art Photography Collection, "Shadowed Souls," will be featured in a solo show at Ghoulish Mortals, 228 W. Main St. in St. Charles.

"Shadowed Souls" is an interactive art encounter that will materialize in the basement of Ghoulish Mortals on Friday and Saturday, July 23-24, from noon to 8 p.m.

Whiteside's passion is creating eerie, dream-like images that usually lay on the shadowy side of the imagination. Her art is focused on women as spiritual beings: their experiences, emotions, hopes, fears, and anxieties that make them who they are. Art pieces will be available for purchase.

An award-winning photographer, Tracy Whiteside has lived in St. Charles since 2006. "I cannot think of a better storefront for this exhibition. Ghoulish Mortals has provided the perfect space and some cool extras to make this a truly immersive experience. I have a couple of freaky-fun activities as well."

Whiteside specializes in conceptual art. She is captivated by anything magical. Inspiration is everywhere and she explores every dark path. She wants to open the viewers' eyes and mind, as well as encourage them to examine their own soul and spirit. Her art is meant to ignite the imagination as well as initiate conversation.
