About Steeb:
“I love drawing, coffee, any drawing and painting colorful characters. I’ve shared an art studio with my wife Libby at Make.Shift for 11 years this February. I’ve taken a couple of classes at Make.Shift over the years and I’m looking forward passing on some positivity in daily drawing with our community. And the joys of turning the page and beginning again.”
