Virginia Allen

Virginia grew up in Fairborn, Ohio.  She got a job while in high school working for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.  She then took a job working for the US Navy in Indianapolis where she met her husband.  They moved from the Midwest to Florida to Seattle to New Jersey, then returned to Indiana to raise a family.  Both being musically inclined, they started a classic rock band and enjoyed performing in the area for several years.  Virginia has been a fan of photography for a long time, as well.  then came the Covid lock downs, and pretty much all that was open was a local art store giving classes. She and her husband took several classes there for over a year, then moved on to YouTube instructors and the Great Courses online classes. At the moment her focus has been, unintentionally, photo realism.  She is expanding her art into abstract, impressionism, liquid pours, oil over acrylic painting and drawing.  So many choices, so much fun!
