About Us

After purchasing this collection of Terpening works from the original art auction in 2013, I spent several years (and too much money) on restoration because I believe Terpening's works are a gift.  All were filthy. Most needed frames. Two of her paintings on The Works page, Herd of Herefords (under All God's Creatures) and The Winding River (under Not Your Ordinary Landscapes), were in their original frames but the frames had rodent holes. Thankfully, I suppose, mice don't like oil paint. The images were left in tact. When restoring the frames, I left the mouse holes because that's just part of the story. Right?  Check out the upper left corner of the frames!

The 2013 auction brought buyers from around the country. I have had correspondence with people from as far away as Washington state who own her work. As of this writing, I don't believe there has been a retail market established for her work. 

God gave Virginia a gift that should be celebrated. Simply stated, I took on this project to celebrate the Amazing Works of Virginia Terpening. 

Enjoy.
