Virginia Tupper
Virginia Tupper with Two of Her Works
Virginia Tupper is the quintessential woman of today - companion, mother, homemaker, career woman, vital component of the family business, and artiste extraordinaire! Always striving to put her best into each of these roles, it is her artistic endeavour, however, which affords her a measure of relaxation. For Virginia, art is the medium through which she can truly connect with herself, continuing to grow in her talent as she experiments with various techniques and styles to achieve works of art on the cutting edge of innovation.
With valuable past work experience in layout and design for daily and weekly publications, Virginia is a graduate of New Brunswick Community College Miramichi in the Animation and Graphics Program, New Brunswick Community College Moncton in Photography for Beginners and has taken courses toward a degree in Fine Arts from Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB. A member of the New Brunswick Filmmakers Co-operative and of The Moncton Art Society, she has won accolades and awards which include "Honourable Mention" as well as 2nd and 3rd places at The Moncton Art Society Provincial Art Exhibits; "Certificate of Achievement" from Ron L. Hubbard's Illustrators of the Future Contest, LA, California for 1999; "Sheila Hugh MacKay Foundation Grant Award" for 1999; and "Award of Merit" Tearsheet of the Month, presented by Metro Creative Graphics, USA, in 1990.
Virginia’s excellent illustrations have graced the pages of the following publications - "Not for the Glory: A History of the Moncton Fire Department" and "Atlantis - A Women’s Study Journal," Acadia University, Wolfville, NS. Virginia's art has also been displayed at many public venues including Moncton City Hall, Moncton Gallery, Capitol Art Gallery, Equinoxx Studio Gallery, Moncton Museum, and Marche Moncton Market Global Hall.
Best known for her beautiful portraits, Virginia accepts only a handful of commissions a year as her busy schedule keeps her from devoting the time she would like to her art. When times does allow, however, Virginia can often be found indulging in her lovely fantasy pieces or portraits of family, friends, and other subjects through which she can happily explore her limitless creativity. To view Virginia's artwork, refer to her website at www.virginiatupper.com and revel in the delight of one of the Moncton Area's most prolific artists!
