About Virginia

Virginia Gardner works from her studio in the beautiful countryside surrounding Charlottesville, Virginia.

My work is a lot about the materials, combining diverse materials in a way that stimulates a thought or emotion. From my very first experiments with mosaic in the landscape, I recognized the power which is inherent in those materials. I became a facilitator, as the materials did their magic.

As I have worked my way through the technical learning curve, I have found myself drawn further to textural elements and the effects which result from combinations of materials. Today, my studio is visual chaos to an observer, but it is a womb for me.  While I work, I am surrounded by shelves of kitsch, ceramics and glass, a wall of rocks, stone and crystals… it’s a carnival of visual stimuli which is my inspiration.”  - Virginia Gardner
