Virginia's Biography:
   Virginia White has been actively painting, showing and selling her paintings as a professional artist since 1973. Her watercolors, oils, and acrylics of architectural themes, especially those of local landmarks and landscapes in Northern California have made her work significant, and have attracted many collectors.  
     Virginia lives in Modesto and is a retired art teacher from the Oakdale public schools.  She now spends her time as a full time artist.  Among her many awards in art shows, are twelve first place ribbons and several Best of Shows.  Virginia strives to find an interest in an ordinary subject, then bring it to life with the impact of colorful brush strokes and striking lights and shadows.
      Virginia began her art career when she received a B.A. in Fine arts and a teaching credential from the California State University at Hayward.  She has studied with some renowned watercolor instructors, George Post, Robert E. Wood, Alexander Nepote, Rose Eden, Dan Peterson, and "Pop" artist Mel Ramos.
       Her horizons continue to expand as she travels the world as a fine art photographer.  Some of her paintings and photographs have subjects from Europe, Asia, and South America and include France, Italy, China, Egypt, South Africa, and Peru.
