MEET THE ARTIST
VIRGINIA SIMONS
I have loved observing from the beginning of memory. Before I even knew it as art, I called it “taking pictures with my mind”. With many uprootings in childhood, I could spend hours sorting all those pictures in my mind: California, Washington, Maine, Tennessee, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Arizona and Ohio.
I become fascinated with the non-verbal in the world: from facial expressions to gestures and movement of figures in space, the sun’s shadows, sunsets and star lit nights. I am delighted by the smallest of flowers growing in cracks in the Burren of county Clare in Ireland or the alps of Switzerland to the giant bell flower in Jill and Charli’s garden.
WITH BRUSHES AND PAINT AS MY INSTRUMENTS, I BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN OUR SOULS AND INSPIRATION.
