Along with a passion for supporting local non-profits, small businesses, and fellow artists, VRGNZ has also showcased her work at numerous conventions and events in cities across the US and abroad.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of influences, her aesthetic embodies a post-graffiti, contemporary style, often reflecting on social constucts, through satire and vulgarity.
From vibrant aerosol murals that grace urban landscapes to thought-provoking graphic designs, VRGNZ seamlessly blends elegance with an unmistakable edge. The work invites viewers to explore the complexities of the human experience while pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
In addition to visual art, VRGNZ is a versatile creator, delving into the realms of event production and immersive installation. Her dynamic portfolio reflects a commitment to innovation and a fearless exploration of new mediums.
"The word 'virgin' is often loaded with societal expectations and judgments. For me, it symbolizes purity of intention, a commitment to authenticity, and the power of reclaiming narratives.
By proudly owning the word VRGNZ within my name, I challenge stereotypes and advocate for a world where individuals are not confined by labels or preconceptions.
I've always been interested in design and fashion, creating items that speak to my community and empower us through "comedic reverence"™️.
It's a form of expression, a means of communication, and sometimes even a tool for social change."
