We invite you to join us at our opening meeting for this year on Monday October 20, 2025 for fun and fellowship.
This is our regular monthly members meeting. Hope to see you there - members and guests welcome!
This month our presenter, Sekelle Nathan, will present:
Manifestation Over Mastery:
Becoming the J.O.A.T (pronounced G.O.A.T)
In this inspiring presentation, mixed-media artist Sekelle Nathan shares her creative journey of experimentation and growth. Blending materials like cement, papier-mâché, clay, wood, and found objects, Sekelle transforms everyday items into extraordinary works of art. Through her story, she explores the power of innovation, risk-taking, and creating without waiting for perfection or “mastery.” Attendees will discover how embracing curiosity and action—in art and in life—can lead to unexpected beauty and transformation.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sekelle Nathan is a mixed-media artist whose work is inspired by faith, transformation, and the beauty of imperfection. She blends moss, paper-based clays, and cement to create pieces that merge ancient textures with modern design.
Driven by a love for experimentation, Sekelle explores new techniques without the constraints of perfection. Her guiding philosophy—“Manifestation is the only skill worth mastering”—shapes both her creative process and her life. Through her art, she seeks to inspire others to see how ordinary materials, and even ordinary lives, can be transformed into something extraordinary.
Sekelle lives in Chapin with her husband David, their 3 boys and their Cockapoo Fudge

Simply create your best piece according to the theme and bring it to hang on the start date listed below. (Be sure to bring your gallery wall label.) Only original works only are permitted in judged theme contests (no prints please). Exhibits typically change the same night as our monthly member meeting. Be sure to take home your artwork at the end of the exhibit!! A monthly Award Winner will be selected and awarded a ribbon for themed exhibits. Happy creating! In order to give our members more time to paint ahead for the TAP Gallery Exhibits, we will be trying to keep a yearly list of upcoming themes published in advance.
