Beatrice Lennie

The Pasovas Club met regularly at Bee Lennie's studio where they held life drawing sessions.

[5][6] In 1933, after her studies in California, she was invited by F. H. Varley and Jock Macdonald to teach sculpture and modeling at the newly founded, and short-lived, BC Institute of the Arts.

Lennie stated with regards to her public commission for the Vancouver Labour Temple (1949) that: So many people have this Victorian idea of a woman sculptor.

...They think of women 'tiddling' with pretty little figurines and vases when actually sculptoring for a living is a hard and demanding life.

I spent six months on the labor mural in the workshops of a big construction company and the union men were shocked.
