Virginia (Gini) Monsell, is a painter and designer living and working in Portland Maine. She is inspired by dreams, pain, the natural world, mystery, and death. Working primarily in oil on wood panel, her work explores the tension and connection between seemingly opposing forces — attraction and discomfort, growth and deterioration, hope and despair.

She holds a BFA in Painting and an AAS in Architectural and Engineering Design, with a background spanning painting, sculpture, and design.

Alongside her fine art practice, she recently launched Vile Goods, an alternative design brand, where she explores the darker, edgier side of her aesthetic. More products and designs are coming soon—explore the collection here.
