EKlekTix – Where Jean Rissover Became a Painter at 70 and Now Creates Narrative Art While You Watch At 130 North Main Street in an 1860s building, Jean Rissover paints during the hours her gallery is open—not as demonstration or performance but as working artist fully engaged in creating the figurative paintings that crowd her studio walls. About 75 original oil paintings, most 11×14 inches or smaller, fill the space alongside eclectic giftware sourced from artisans around the world. The paintings tell stories, primarily of women—their activities, experiences, relationships, joys, sorrows, and moods—drawn from Rissover’s imagination populated by characters who “live in her head” and demand to be painted. Some focus on Sainte Geneviève’s French colonial history. Others explore universal experiences of being female across time and culture. All are narrative in nature, inviting viewers to construct stories around the figures Rissover portrays with loose, impressionistic brushwork that suggests rather than defines, leaving space for interpretation. The remarkable part isn’t just the art—it’s the journey. Jean Rissover started painting in 2011 at age 70, after retiring from a career spanning teaching, social work, event organization, antique shop ownership, and managing editor of the Ste. Genevieve Herald. It was her first Read more…

Felix Vallé House State Historic Site – Where French Heritage Meets American Influence Step into a pivotal moment in American history at the Felix Vallé House State Historic Site, where the elegant furnishings and sophisticated architecture tell the story of how Ste. Genevieve’s French colonial community adapted to life under American rule following the Louisiana Purchase. This beautifully preserved home offers a fascinating window into a time of cultural transition, when old-world French traditions met the emerging American republic. A House That Bridges Two Worlds Built in 1818, the Felix Vallé House represents a significant departure from the earlier French Creole vertical log architecture that characterized Ste. Genevieve’s colonial period. Instead, the house embraces the American-Federal style that was sweeping the young United States—featuring refined proportions, symmetrical design, and the kind of architectural sophistication that announced the Vallé family’s status and their adaptation to the new American cultural landscape. Yet this wasn’t a complete abandonment of French identity. The house and its furnishings reflect a fascinating blend: French families like the Vallés maintaining their cultural heritage while simultaneously embracing the styles, goods, and opportunities that came with American governance. Walking through these rooms, you witness the negotiation between tradition and Read more…
