Greg Simmons

Welcome to the Tiny Room for Elephants Festival Audio Tour, presented by Love and Grit, a podcast from Visit Philadelphia that explores the authentic and diverse stories of the city.

The work you are viewing is by artist Greg Simmons. 

This work is inspired by LOVE park and Ming Kong’s REVENGE. 

When asked, what does the phrase “made with love, inspired by grit” mean to your creative process, the artist responded: “The artistic process, to me, has been a cycle of inspiration meets desperation. I’m always inspired and I feel like I make art to get mental, spiritual fulfillment. It takes a lot to create and that drive is my life force”
