Beatrice Lennie

Edith Beatrice Catharine Lennie (June 16, 1905 – June 1, 1987) was a Canadian painter and sculptor. She is primarily known for her public sculptures in Vancouver, British Columbia, many of which remain in Vancouver today. Lennie was more concerned with rendering an idea than with a realistic depiction of her subject. In 1933, after her studies in California, she was invited by Varley and Macdonald to teach sculpture and modeling at the newly founded, and short-lived, BC Institute of the Arts.
