Virginia's paintings are founded in the legacy
of the past American Landscape painters. Her work is influenced
by those who came before: the landscape painters who defined
American Art, such as the Hudson River School, the Plein Air
Painters of California and on through the vernacular of American
Impressionism as seen in the works of Homer, Twatchman and
Benson.Landscapes were the sensibilities of their times and are still the sensibilities of landscape painters today. The genre of Landscape has always captured the hearts and emotions of the American public and will continue to do so.
She creates her landscapes from the classical sense to the modern and sometimes stylistically in between. Virginia defines her style as expressive colorism, with the use of bold stroke and the pushing of intense color.
She is a member of the following arts organizations: Georgia Outdoor Painters, Charlotte Plein Air Painters, Piedmont Pastel Society, Southeastern Pastel Society, Mint Hill Arts, Catawba River Art Guild.
