Beverley Reid  
         
 

 

Beverley Reid is a multi-media artist who primarily uses fabric in her work.  The hangings are hand appliquéd and hand quilted with a small amount of machine piecing, frequently painted with commercial dyes, chlorine and paint.  Some recent works are fabric collages with drawing and painting which create microscopic portraits of the inner structure of rocks, the ‘heart of stone’ and the strata of the earth.
 
In part she derives her inspiration through the continued development and maintenance of her extensive garden.  Of her work and its relationship to her garden she states, “My work represents events in the garden, and are a journey through life, death, decay, rebirth, and especially of beauty and new beginnings - of constant change, much like the seasons”.

She has recently begun exhibiting her works again after many years of work in her studio.  She continues to work at her home and studio at Christina Lake, British Columbia.
