VIRGINIA JOURDAN RESUME and BIO
Virginia Jourdan enjoyed art classes as a child and continued pursuing her passion and developing her talents in college, first at the University of Washington focusing on painting, then receiving her BFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with a focus in illustration. Virginia moved to New York and worked as a freelance illustrator for commercial jobs. Returning to the Bay Area, she began focusing on fine art to allow her more creative freedom. She is also talented in storyboarding, printmaking, computer graphics and sculpture. Virginia's artwork has been shown at 20 exhibitions across the country and includes several commissioned works.
