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.
