A TWO YEAR "SCENT-SORY" JOURNEY…..linking Art, Scent, Wine, Food, Music and a Fabulous trip to South Africa ....
What started out as a dream a little more than two years ago to honor our mother, Grace Phillips, is now becoming a reality! On October 5, we will achieve our goal of paying tribute to her by showcasing her lifetime achievement in Art, and to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s, from which she suffers.
The personal collection of Grace Phillips http://www.2marvelous4words.com/ is being exhibited at Scripps Memorial Hospital , 9888 Genessee Avenue, La Jolla, CA 92037on Tuesday evening, October 5th, 2010 and will include an overview by Sue Phillips, International Fragrance Expert, http://www.scenterprises.com/ to raise awareness of the correlation of smell, taste and memory as key elements to emotional well-being and how the plight of Alzheimers affects these senses.

As a tribute to Grace Phillips, who was THE foremost Calligraphist and Watercolorist from South Africa and who was active in the arts in San Diego for over 20 years, her children Geoff and Sue Phillips, together with Scripps Memorial Hospital, are presenting this Retrospective exhibition and Silent Auction fundraiser benefit. This is a one-time spectacular event of a collection of art, painted over 70 years, some of which has never-before-previously-been seen which will be exhibited for 3 months, portraying South African scenes, florals, portraits, and landscapes from Grace’s travels all over the world.
