Bea is a character animator, certified medical illustrator (CMI), nature journal educator, and Fulbright Scholar with a medical background. With curiosity and enthusiasm, her goal is to craft entertaining, inspiring, and educational stories, merging art with science in both digital and traditional media in a creative collaborative environment. She also supports the creativity and artistic development in children through nature journal workshops and her website Curiosity, Creativity and Beyond (developed thanks to a Small Neighborhood Grant by Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives). You can also find a picnic table she painted, depicting 5 birds of the lower Mainland and their nests, at the park next to the Gulf Georgia Cannery National Historic Site.
Richmond Arts Coalition
The Richmond Arts Coalition (RAC) is a voice for artists and the arts in Richmond. A volunteer-led organization, RAC offers opportunities for artists and the arts within Richmond; informs artists and assists with innovative ideas; connects artists, businesses, and audiences; and engages and advocates for the arts community.
RAC connects artists to opportunities through co-producing and assisting events such as ArtRich, the Richmond Arts Awards, the Maritime Festival, and Songs in the Snow. The organization shares artist calls with its membership, and maintains an informed and up to date hub of information online, including a roster with individual pages for each artist. RAC supports and advocates for the arts with pushes for extra spaces, further funding, and to keep the arts in the conversation as development accelerates throughout the city.
