Norfolk native Virginia Van Horn is a longtime member of the Hampton Roads art community and has an extensive exhibition record in both the region and the Southeast.
She received her BFA in printmaking from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and her MFA in sculpture from the Visual Studies Program of Old Dominion and Norfolk State Universities. She also studied and exhibited in Urbino, Italy as part of a program sponsored by New York's School of Visual Arts, and most recently was a 2015 Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome.
Virginia currently teaches at the Governor's School for the Arts. Inspired by her childhood as a champion rider, she is fascinated by animal imagery, especially horses. Her recent work branches out from equestrian images to explore new and different combinations of animals, both wild and domestic.
