Discover Brilliant Minds.
About the Gallery
Resilia is a professional art gallery and creative community that showcases a curated collection of original works in our virtual gallery and in satellite exhibits hosted by senior care organizations.
Our mission is to connect the arts with health and human connection. Each piece displayed through Resilia is created by our diverse community of artists — including senior adults, team members from senior care organizations, family caregivers, and other contributing creatives.
As a professional gallery, Resilia represents and sells artwork on behalf of our artists, ensuring every sale directly supports both the creator and a cause that matters. For each artwork sold, 60% of the proceeds go to the artist, 30% supports the operations of Resilia, and 10% is donated to a foundation chosen by the artist that promotes the arts and cognitive health.

About the Founder
Resilia was founded in 2021 by artist and social gerontologist Ellie Rose, whose vision is to unlock the creative potential of organizations and transform how we approach aging and senior care.
Blending science with art, Ellie inspires others to reimagine aging through creativity, showing how the arts can enhance brain health, emotional well-being, and resilience.
With over 17 years of experience in the U.S. and Mexico, she has led and operated adult day centers, memory clinics, home health agencies, and a nurse training school. Ellie’s work continues to redefine gerontology and creative aging—bringing hope, innovation, and vibrancy to care communities big and small.
Our Initiatives
Resilia has three immersive initiatives to improve your community with essential tools
and skills training for your staff teams and volunteers.
Make Brain Health programs your differentiator! Combine neuroscience, gerontology, and the Arts to offer the most engaging interventions that exercise the brain, elevate resilience, and enhance purpose and emotional well-being.
Bring more vibrance to your care setting! Artified communities use visual arts, music, storytelling, and other hands-on experiences to elevate engagement, narrate legacies, and enrich their physical environments with person-centered productions.
The commitments of your Certified Nursing Assistants, Aids, and volunteers are one of your greatest assets. Unlock their full potential and capitalize on their ability to lead your person-centered care, brain health, life enrichment, and care excellence initiatives.

Who founded Resilia?
The founder of Resilia is Ellie Rose. Ellie is an artist and social gerontologist who developed the company Resilia to showcase and sell art and provide programs to strengthen cognitive resilience to support people living with life-limiting illnesses like dementia, advanced organ diseases, and cancer. Her unique path started when her resilient grandmother escaped from a nursing home and Ellie was forced to problem solve and create alternative care solutions within our conventional healthcare system. She has over 17 years of experience producing and contributing to arts-based, healthcare programs. She has degrees and certifications in fine art painting and sculpture, nursing, applied gerontological practices in gerontology, social gerontology, and leadership in healthcare. She has led and operated multiple adult day health centers, memory clinics, a home care agency, and a nurse training school. After living in Mexico City, Mexico for seven years, Ellie moved back to the United States to help individuals, families, and healthcare organizations rise above the norms of traditional care and provide a more person-centered and meaningful experience.
