Born in the Coastal Town of La Ceiba, Honduras, Virginia Castillo captures the diverse and colorful culture of the Caribbean. Entirely self taught, Virgie has developed her own style. The local scenes are painted in vivid colors. Her subject matter often times appears as a familiar face, house or a local “barrio” in and around the North Coast or Bay Islands of Honduras. She works in whatever mediums and materials are available which include mixed media, needle work, acrylics, watercolors, oils, dyes, or ink. One thing that never changes is her source of inspiration; the quiet strength of her island “sisters”. Virginia explains her artistic approach as, “ I just simply look out the window and paint what I see”. Waves of Art Gallery is the home to Virgie’s original paintings and fine art prints.
