That is when I first met Steve Gibbs at his Art Spirit Gallery. Then, the gallery was in a quaint home on East Sherman Avenue. Steve told me of the artist community here and that Coeur d’Alene was a place to grow. For me, that has proven true. I was born in Redding, California, and have been a lifelong student of the arts. Wherever I lived and worked, I enrolled in fine art classes at community colleges. I was mentored by some amazing and talented artists who inspire the work I do today. They include Mr. Howland (my high school art teacher who inspired my consistency with art and always believed in me), John Harper, Richard Wilson, Marc Wurmbrand, Greg Kondos, Gary Prunner, Wayne Thiebaued, and Jim Nelsen. For many years, I have worked in the arts as a volunteer, managing and curating galleries, or showing in galleries as an artist. I work as a teacher of Fine Arts at Sorensen Magnet School of the Arts and Humanities and offer private art lessons while raising my children. Being a teacher, parent, and artist has helped me persevere through life with purpose and direction. I enjoy helping others discover their passion and grow artistically. I work out of my home studio. You can often find me with paint on my face and wearing paint-stained coveralls my dad used to wear when he worked as a welder. I am planning a new studio space so my family can again use the basement as living space, and I can have a place of my own with privacy and natural light. I am excited to see how this new environment will influence my art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg About https://www.virginiashawver.com/events daily 0.75 2023-06-05 https://www.virginiashawver.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/a97a005f-1c99-45a5-b1c2-a65982ea7bca/Hope+Idaho+by+Virgnia+Lynn+Contemporary+Artist+oil+painting+on+board.jpg Contact - Contact Virginia Shawver Artist Virginia Shawver offers commissions, art classes and more. virginia@virginiashawver.com (208) 819-9996 Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815 Facebook Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce435d6bea1ed00016ba287/1558964652247-5MWXNMFZVOPGE4TY6U2Q/MHeiderich_ReflexionenZwei-05-copy.jpg Contact https://www.virginiashawver.com/home daily 1.0 2025-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/543ab446-4ef2-4420-8ec6-f764ff9083f9/Contemporary+Artist+Virginia+Shawver+painting.jpg Home - About Virginia Shawver “Art has given me a way to express myself through every season of my life. As I have grown and changed, so has my artwork. From painting to printmaking, drawing, sculpture and jewelry, art has allowed me to check out, heal and replenish my soul. Everyday life objects, natural materials, and even junk meant to be discarded find new life in my art, helping my audience to see the old, the odd, and the everyday with a fresh perspective.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/3727a290-1869-4b56-b539-46872ced8cf7/DSC_2073+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Bear With Me, 32 x 38, mixed media on board. $1,850 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/b4c840b7-dedc-46a6-855b-e7c5b585cc40/DSC_2056+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Elk Meadows, 24 x 24, mixed media on board. $690 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/a464d8dc-3368-4f89-ae6d-63b1ae66a842/DSC_2062+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Midnight Dip, 24 x 24, mixed media on board. $690 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/6a072e1e-37a0-454b-82e9-ac3376f9fd38/DSC_2082+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Skinny Dip Four, 24 x 36, mixed media on board. $1,100 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/8f3b06d7-d2e7-4f96-9332-782e52d8d782/DSC_2083+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Skinny Dip Three, 48 x 48, mixed media on board. $2,750 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/38150543-1dd2-4cb8-ad48-417b3f36bda2/DSC_2067+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Skinny Dip Six, 11 x 14, mixed media on board. $300 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/8c1c18d1-0d7a-466e-82ef-9d27d2a1917b/DSC_2102+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Not Over The Hill, 48 x 72, mixed media on board. $4,300 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/ba0ea0ce-cb1a-4b0a-a423-a0b413843126/DSC_2076+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Yellow Line, 40 x 40, mixed media on board. $1,850 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/96dc90f2-fe97-48c6-a854-1b2545033b2a/DSC_2063+c+FOR+WEB+ONLY.jpg Home Tree Top Ridge, 24 x 24, mixed media on board. $690 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e9baa3a85ee92e553fdd8d/2a5de2a9-2a37-46b3-b22c-dc323679d33c/After+Dinner+in+La+Jolla+by+Virginia+Lynn+Contemporary+Artist+oil+painting+on+paper+board.jpg Home After Dinner in La Jolla, 24 x 30 unframed, oil on paper.
