Artist: Virginia Deaver | Location: Berea, KY
Berea, KY
Virginia Deaver is a 22 year old
self-taught artist and actress from Berea, Kentucky. After graduating with a bachelors degree in liberal arts from St. John’s College, Deaver returned to Kentucky and became incredibly enamored with the Appalachian landscape and culture she was raised from. Her work often focuses on the dichotomy between land and our bodies; her paintings include themes of southern folklore, raw sensuality, and human aging. Deaver remains fascinated with human anatomy in art; in both her acting and painting she believes that the human body is our best tool—words outlive the body, making it all the more precious to us. In her paintings Deaver most often utilizes acrylic paints and paper layering to achieve her effects.
