Bush and Bill Clinton. In 2012\, she was one of 44 artists commissioned to make a collage on a life-size bust of President Barack Obama. Her work has been purchased by some of the country’s most elite celebrities including Oprah Winfrey\, Tyler Perry\, Shonda Rhimes and Bill Russell. \nIn conversation with Ebell Member and best-selling author\, Wendy Gladney\, the pair will discuss Phoebe’s personal journey from her early days as a college artist in Ohio\, to moving to Los Angeles in search of a sprawling career in arts. They’ll also discuss how important contributions from Black artists have historically been overlooked and will enlighten us on the importance of early arts exposure. \nSamples of Phoebe’s art will be on display at the event. \n URL:https://ebellofla.org/event/speaker-series-phoebe-beasley-02-27-23/ CATEGORIES:Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ebellofla.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/SQUARE-3.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
