Sometimes, its best to quote a guest's website-- this is the bio listed at http://www.alexbeardstudio.com

American painter and author Alex Beard is best known for his elaborate wildlife compositions created in his signature style of gestural painting, which he has coined “Abstract Naturalism.”

Fueled by curiosity about the cultures and wildlife he had been exposed to in his early years, Alex has spent much of his life traveling to the some of the world’s most remote wildlife outposts - paintbrush in hand. His time in nature enables him to continually hone his style – creating complex compositions in which abstraction and figuration collide, while exploring themes of cultural and environmental interconnectivity.

Alex’s studio in the heart of the New Orleans’ Art’s District is both the creative hub of his artistic practice and a successful enterprise.

The studio is open to the public to encourage and foster interaction between the artist and his audience.

How do you explain the terrible events that we see in the news to young children without scaring them while still being authentic and honest? How do you explain "death," divorce, and bullying? To help us, we invited Vanessa McMullan, LCSW, of the North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center located at 80 North Service Road, Manhasset, NY 11030 to discuss these extremely challenging topics. Our conversation also explored other issues impacting young children: upheaval (whether moving or the loss of a family member or divorce), children's understanding of their world, and expression of fear, anger, and sadness, and alcohol, and drug use. This show was inspired by the need to reach out and help children and their care givers. We hope this show bring comfort and awareness and provides an invaluable resource to our listeners. I am grateful to Vanessa for her wisdom, experience, and knowledge. For more information: https://www.northshorechildguidance.org
