She travels extensively for inspiration for her painting and frequent visits with family across the United States. \nShe received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, with additional training at the Arts Students’ League in New York City and the University of Georgia Studies Abroad Program in Cortona\, Italy.  Virginia has lectured and taught many workshops and classes in painting and drawing and on illustrating children’s books. \nShe is widely known for her design and construction of the Minnie Evans Bottle Chapel and Sculpture Garden at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington\, a structure built with mortar and thousands of glass bottles\, inspired by the art of the visionary artist who worked in the garden for many years as a gatekeeper. \nIn 2000\, Virginia donated the sweeping mural which is permanently installed on the ceiling of the new atrium at Columbine High School after the tragic shootings there.  It is comprised of twenty painted panels which lift the eyes to a perspective of a Colorado forest of evergreens\, aspen and sunlight. \nShe has written and illustrated many children’s books\, including three John Burroughs Nature Book Award winners:  A Desert Scrapbook\, An Island Scrapbook\, and A North American Rain Forest Scrapbook. \nHer most recent work has included a one-person exhibition of 120 road trip oil paintings at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington\, a “pop up” exhibit of new oils and watercolors at 216 N. Front Street sponsored by Art in Bloom Gallery\, and a Cameron Art Museum exhibit\, “The Lived-In Body\, Celebrating Women Over 65.”
