The Bigger Picture Podcast

Trained as a ballet dancer and today an Art dealer and artists agent, it was through her great uncle that Virginia would sell her first painting at 16 and set in motion a series of events that would see her future in the art world. Starting out running a gallery from her flat without a plan, Virginia would go on to reinvent the gallery experience. Fusing theatrics, and unique immersive experiences, it would be as Riflemaker Gallery that she would go on to create exhibitions like no other while catching the attention of a particularly significant collector.
