The humor reflected in her drawings combine with a life-long interest in folk tales and storytelling has led her to develop an extensive work in which she explores the interactions among reality, dreams and mythology. Virginia obeys her interior pulse and her works are spiced with remembrances that inhabit in her memory. Virginia Lavado born in Caracas, Venezuela where she started her career as artist. In 1982 moved to New York to study at Pratt Institute. After many years of living in Brooklyn, she stablished her studio in upstate New York.
