==== ARTS & CRAFT GALLERY ==== THE ARCHITECTS OF HEAVEN – Oil paintings by Virginia Ivanicki (Vancouver, BC)
Virginia Ivanicki has been a professional artist for over thirty years, showing her work at galleries across Canada and in the United States in a one woman and group shows. Her subject matter includes automobiles, aircraft, landscape, crows, and portraits.  She has produced hundreds of paintings that have been collected world wide. She’s designed and painted sets for live action and theatre productions, produced work for magazine covers and designed colour for numerous animation productions. Considering these assignments as experimentation, she has worked in almost every medium and found oils to be far and above the most exciting. She has a profound hunger to create more worlds with them, explore further depths and follow her curiosity with avid tenacity.
