Well Beings Studio Farewell

Since 2019, Sharon and her partner Matthew have been supporting families impacted by cancer through the arts and literature through the project they founded, Well Beings Studio. We did a substantial amount of work online during COVID 2020-2022, as well as shipping book donations and little monster duffles. We loved contributing to the well-being of families, and collaborating with so many wonderful artists, educators, and mental health specialists along the way.
Once things started back in person, interest in our online workshops and resources dwindled. So, we began focusing solely on book donations and have continued this work into the close of 2023 under the fiscal sponsorship of OneOC. We have donated 7,500 books to date.
It is with great appreciation that I say to you, our work with Well Beings Studio is complete. We are doing many new things: making art for myself (Sharon), going back to school (Matthew), and supporting our senior in high school through her competitive dance activities and college applications/auditions.
A big thank you to my mom, Therese Verner, who continues to work with teen volunteers. They have created and donated over 900 little green monsters and Little Green Monster: Cancer Magic! books to Camp Kesem chapters around the country!
We appreciate all the support each of you have given us over the last four and a half years. Please enjoy the enclosed goodbye video of some favorite Well Beings Studio moments.
Love, Sharon and Matthew
