Beverly Grice is a self-taught artist who continues to be awed by the diverse beauty of Nature here on the West Coast of British Columbia. She draws inspiration from her travels and experience of the coastal environment. This includes everything from seascapes and landscapes to flowers and mushrooms.

Beverly works primarily with watercolour as this medium is both versatile and challenging. Occasionally she uses other water based mediums such as acrylic, gouache or collage to get the effect that she wants for a particular image.

This exhibit depicts a range of moods and ‘weathers’ of healthy aging. It displays select finalists of the Healthy Aging Visual Art Prize sponsored by UBC’s Edwin S H Leong Centre for Healthy Aging and the Djavada Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, and chaired by Dr. Julia Henderson.
The goal was to bring together researchers, trainees, artists, older adults, and members of the public through a visual art contest and exhibition that features anti-ageist representations. We invited an inclusive and diverse range of entries which represent “Healthy Human Aging.”
Our concept of “healthy aging” is built upon the WHO’s definition as: the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age. Functional ability means maintaining the capability to be and do what individuals value. Healthy aging sail calm seas or weather storms; importantly, there is no “typical” healthy older person, and this definition does not require an individual to be free of diseases or conditions. Our contest received over 50 submissions which were reviewed by a jury of experts, and the work of select finalists is displayed in this exhibition.

Superdoodles are a series of large drawings entitled “Folie Douce” which were developed over a period of about four years. They are instinctual in nature, coming together organically, inspired by small sketches which I then enlarged and reconfigured to my liking.

Art dolls. This work came out of a desire to move into 3D art . They were inspired by my interest in fashion, sewing, and love of creating quirky characters .
