DETAILS: The Providence Gallery at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center hosts a brilliant new collection of works from Beaverton artist Bruce Ulrich. There is something for everyone in this collection of abstracts and scenics created with watercolor or acrylic. Golfers might recognize two of Oregon’s world famous courses – Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes.

Ulrich says he enjoys working in more than one style. “In my landscapes, it is the quality of light, the time of day, and the mood that intrigues me and makes me want to create. When it is painted on location there are extra risks and rewards to the process,” notes Ulrich. He says painting in the studio allows time for reflection and combining many elements, and designing the painting to convey one idea or mood.

The Providence Gallery exhibit is located in the main tower, second floor hallway of the hospital. Artwork is changed quarterly to showcase the creativity and culture of mature adults from Washington County and to emphasize the importance of art in healing. The art exhibit is a collaboration between Providence St. Vincent Medical Center and the Beaverton Arts Commission.
