Virginia Jenkins Coming To Gallery Fifty Six

Gallery Fifty Six is pleased to announce that ceramic sculptor Virginia Jenkins will be showing some of her work at the gallery beginning in November.

Virginia Jenkins creates ceramic sculpture inspired by her love and concern for the plight of earth’s oceans and the paradoxical logic of society. Phenomenological philosophy, empathy, and self-realization are key conceptual components that guide her work and interests.
