Interview with mixed media artist Greg Beebe

Meet Greg Beebe. Greg is a self-taught, mixed media artist who describes his work as ͞a mixture of abstract expressionism, pop and graffiti street art.  The Miami-based artist is also a successful financial entrepreneur that approaches his art practice with the same intention as he does his business interests...with an unstoppable impulse to create.

Image
Thomais V. Moshopoulos was born in Athens, Greece in 2008. She was developing like any other kid but at 36 months she had a massive regression and autism became a part of her life. She loves dinosaurs, whales and at times she believes she’s an encyclopedia and loves to share what she’s learned. Thomais learned to read this year and is beyond thrilled with the greater discoveries she’s making, writing and illustrating her own book for starters. How do you feel after your desperate move that drove you to take your daughter to Tampa Bay without her father's consent? I am no longer desperate. My efforts and the support of many - particularly my daughter's father - have made it so. I am fully committed to creating quality of life for Thomais and guaranteeing her challenges and her diagnosis do not become the priority in our day to day. And long term, she will be capable of leading a meaningful and loving life, making decisions based on the power of being alive. Why i...

Image
In 1991, Don Shetterly was paralyzed from a condition known as a “conversion disorder” for a short period of time. Since that time, he has spent many hours healing and recovering from the trauma and abuse he suffered as a child. Writing became therapy to Don and his book of poetry and writing, “A Journey Through Words” is about his own process in the journey to heal. We have conducted an interview with him. How different is writing your book: “Hope And Possibility Through Trauma” versus writing ''A Journey Through Words''? When I wrote Journey Through Words , I was just writing words that were helping me express the hurt and pain that I was attempting to heal from. It was raw writing at times, letting words flow without thinking of what they would be intended for or how they would impact everyone else. It was my outlet and my moment where I could bare my soul with whatever was showing up in that moment. When I wrote Hope And Possibility Through Trauma ,...
