Having been born and raised in Oakland, California, Virginia was close to Tahoe National Forest, Yosemite National Park and many other State and national parks where she found her love of the outdoors and nature. Early in life, she was influenced by her father's love of art. He was a sculptor, stained glass lamp maker and craftsman. At the age of 11, while her dad taught stained glass classes at the U C Berkeley extension, she would help him setup for class and wander the halls of the Art department smelling the oils from painting classes in session. Although she was always very curious, she didn't try her hand at oil painting until 2009. With her very first brush stroke, she knew she had found her passion! For the next 12 years she focused on learning everything she could about drawing and oil painting. Loving nature as she does, she has found the perfect subject matter to paint all around her. Today, Virginia live near Mt. Diablo where she continually strives to express her love of the outdoo0rs and nature through her oil painting.

Artist Statement:
My whole life, I have tried to treat people the way I would like to be treated. In doing so, I paint in a way that I think will please others. I choose to paint nature in a real and present way and paint with color that pleases the senses. I have been influenced by Sargent, who paints with motion and Ander Zorn, who paints with a limited pallet. Incorporation these styles enables me to express the movement and brilliance of what I see in life.
