VIRGINIA PIERCE FINE ART

A native Texan, I grew up in a family filled with artists and musicians. My father was a painter, author and illustrator of children's books. My mother was a very creative and musical person with great appreciation for all of the arts.  It was through their passion that I became interested and enthusiastic about my own art. My artistic background includes studies in music and art in Austin at the University of Texas and Laguna Gloria Art Center.

​

During my numerous years abroad, I worked in various types of media: bronze sculpture and painting at the Instituto de Allende in San Miguel, Mexico; painting in Paris at L'Alliance Francaise and drawing and painting in Florence at the Scuola di Dante Alighieri in addition to many private studies. A twenty five-year resident of Maui, my import business Odyssey House allowed me to explore my creative expression and to sell my art and paintings to clients worldwide. I have participated in many group exhibits in Texas and have been included in juried shows at the Hui No'eau, Viewpoints Gallery, Maui Hands and Art Maui.

I am married to Mark, who has a coffee plantation and is a well-known coffee entrepreneur; we live with our two Australian Shepherds and some great kitties in Kula.  I enjoy working in my own studio and conducting group workshops and private classes on location. My most recent works are pastels
