I am an American artist who has lived in Berlin and worked at the Agora Collective in Neukolln. I use paint and the written word to tell stories.

I am working on a series of paintings that recasts German myths and fairy tales in light of the contemporary landscape.

I am writing a blog (http://studiovirginia.net/index.php?/journal/) as a way of telling my own stories about following the breadcrumb trails of old. I keep an eye out for the fantastic and archetypical in the every-day.
