Virginia L Small

Hello. I do the website for the Pen Women here at the Denver branch. I am a former member, but I am still very much invested in this organization. Glad to meet you.

I am a writer, illustrator, cartoonist, craft person and website creator. I consider myself a griot and and a storyteller. I use many mediums to tell a story.

I have a BFA, in fine arts, an MA in arts management and a certificate in multimedia design. For several years I ran a gallery for talented artists with disabilities. I have been featured in several newspaper articles and have had TV appearances dealing with albinism. I was also on the board of directors for a national albinism organization.

I have been walking around with a pencil in my hand since the age of about seven. I drew on everything. My mother would tell me to put the pencil down, and I would. But in 10 minutes another one would take its place.

I have been published in, so far, four anthology books. From the Sequential Arts Workshops in Florida. I’ve also illustrated two picture books, and have been working on my own pieces.

My websites are:

Zebracorn Art Journeys www.zebracorn.com and The Golden Child www.goldenalbinism.com

Education: BFA, School of Visual Arts: MA in community arts management, University of Illinois: certificate in multi media, Sessions School of Design.

Past work: Various gallery exhibits including New Jersey, Washington DC, Colorado, and Philadelphia. Have created several websites for various clients. Several articles published in local newspapers.

Awards and certificates: Won art awards in middle school, high school Won award from National Exhibits by Blind Artists. Toastmaster CTM, keynote speaker at National Park Service in New Mexico. Several merit awards while working in US government.
