St. Virginia of Long Beach
As a young missionary espousing the gospel according to "Little Audrey", Virginia was
visited by an archangel, who admonished her to "never put your face in the water!" She
gave up her dream of one day swimming for the U.S. Olympic Team and turned her energies
toward a quest to bring music to every living thing. When asked if there was frustration
at not being able to carry her piano on her back, Virginia smiled slyly and replied,
"That’s why God created the accordion." The artist painted her holding the first gold
brick for the foundation of her home in the hereafter.
