Virginia Segur has been part of the Tracy art community for many years. I first learned about her when I saw one of her painted chairs at the Tracy Art League's Expressions show. The chair was a favorite among the young students who visited the Expressions show on field trips. When I visited Virginia, I was awed by the attention to color and pattern in her home. From the vibrant blue accents at the front porch to the striking greens of her living room to the rich reds of her family room, Virginia's home is a feast for the eyes. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Her home reflects her artwork, which is filled with vibrant color and meticulous patterns created through "embellishment." Virginia has what I consider to be a "curated" home. You feel as if you are walking through a gallery designed to showcase her art. I have encountered this feeling with other artists in the community. Some other notable homes are those of Del Park and Henrietta Sparkman. Above: Del Park in his home.

I'm not sure that Virginia would agree with this statement, but when I'm with her, I feel like everything and everyone is beautiful. She looks for beauty and seeks to embody it in her work and her home.
