I had the pleasure of having a chat with Drew Steinbrecher who is host of GPS 2023 and is a gel printer extraordinaire with a very strong sense of design whose work is easily recognisable among a sea of gel prints.
Drew has enjoyed working with his hands and being creative from a young age. He has a university degree in graphic design and has worked in the profession for 25 years. Drew is an avid knitter, photographer, and traveler. He currently lives in Cincinnati with his partner Greg and their Schnauzer Fred. Along with being a full-time artist, Drew is a freelance graphic designer and a high school coach.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Kasia Avery, the cofounder of Everything Art and host of Wanderlust in this candid episode where she shares her art "origin story" and how Everything Art came into being!
Capturing the moment and sensations is everything to Kasia - her language is art. She paints, collages and art journals to figure out her past, present and future. She scribbles, spills, tears, paints and writes to let the emotions out. She asks questions and works out her answers through colour, texture, patterns and dynamic connections between contradictions. Kasia's work is a perfect reflection of her everyday reality - the colours and subjects reveal the connections that she makes between her past and now.

Kasia has taught mixed-media in-person and online since 2011. Kasia runs Everything Art Ltd together with her husband Jamie.
