Virginia is a great addition to our show this year. She will be joining us from Southern California!
Virgina Lewis
Virginia grew up on the shores of the Delaware Bay in a small fishing town. She loved playing make believe, loved paper dolls and her favorite medium was a box of crayons. She was able to roam freely on the beach and on her grandparents farm where there were lots of animals and wildfires.
Virginia now enjoys sculpting with paper clay, hand made papers and antique papers. Most of her pieces are crows and owls dressed in vintage doll hats and clothes. She tries to give each piece it's own unique personality. Her current works are inspired by her grandchildren who give her ideas for her "works of whimsy".
Virginia is now retired and spends most of her time between both coasts with her seven granddaughters and now two grandsons. They range in age from twenty years to three weeks. She is known as "Ginny" or "Gin Gin" to all of them.
She has taught painting and has owned folk art shops on the East Coast with her daughter and where her folk art was sold. She had great fun creating one of a kind pieces from salvaged pieces.
