Virginia lives in DC and works at The Atlantic as a designer and video producer for live events. Her work spans set design, graphic design, editorial design, illustration and art direction as well as videography, pre-and-post production, editing and animation. Her previous credits under Tremolo Productions include archival research for Chelsea Does and post production duties for The Music of Strangers. She recently created all of the artwork for Kate Kelly's debut album,
The Wonder of It All, and has also worked as an assistant teacher and backpacking leader.
Virginia graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 with a degree in Communication and Public Service and a minor in Fine Art. She cares a lot about music (all kinds), the outdoors (most critters), the South (in all its complexity) and education. She grew up in the swamps and beaches of Fairhope, Alabama, a place she hopes you'll someday visit.

Please Hold
Two-Person Exhibition
with Eliza Wapner
2022
Aquarium Gallery
New Orleans, LA
New Orleans-based artists Eliza Wapner and Virginia Walcott present Please Hold, an interdisciplinary exhibition on view at Aquarium Gallery from February 11, 2022 — March 6, 2022. Combining textiles, video, painting, sculpture, and text-based works, the show examines the dissonance between our unpredictable, mysterious bodies and the rote motions of the medical system. Looking beyond health care providers and their practices, Please Hold explores the anonymous and disquieting environments created by these systems and the deeply personal experience of navigating them.
