Who is this “Beatrice Gray”?

As you can tell from this humble web zone —I am Beatrice Gray, she/her if you please.

I am a joyous wife to my wonderful partner, a periodic photographer, an amateur painter, hobbyist tinkerer, and professional manager of programs and people.

Seattle Roots
Seattle is, has been, and with any luck always will be where I call home. Two glorious mountain ranges, views of Tahoma and Baker and Adams, rivers, lakes, an entire Sound—it's difficult to argue that anywhere else could hope to compare. My love for this city and this region runs very deep.

Professional Adventures
My career journey has taken me through roles in retail, construction, photography, security, consulting, team management, program management, and executive leadership. I thrive most when leading a team of professionals to achieve the bizarre or improbable, which I have found to be my professional calling. Having toured many industries and roles, I now focus on helping others achieve their best work, which ultimately brings out the best in me. A mentor once described me as "a serial supporter"—a description I feel rings true (excepting in friendly games of any sort, where I will crush you).

Artistic Drive
Artistically, I draw my inspiration from landscapes and architecture, particularly where the two intertwine. While my painting and sketch work tends to veer decidedly toward the silly, my photography aims to showcase the beauty created by the joint venture of humanity and nature. The straight steel and the curving branch, the magic of artifice and the resonance of growth- two simple concepts that remain a deep well to draw upon.
