At our store location in Downtown Blacksburg, art isn’t just reserved for the jewelry display cases, but it also adorns our walls. The newest addition to our art collection is an oil on canvas painting by local artist, Victor Huggins (1936-2007). This painting (dated 1985) depicts a pastoral landscape of rolling hills with the majestic Blue Ridge mountains in the background. Originally from North Carolina, Huggins was a respected and admired art professor at Virginia Tech for 25 years. His paintings are in numerous collections, including the Smithsonian Institution. He was best known for his modernist-leaning landscapes of the Blue Ridge area and collages. It is now on display for your viewing pleasure!
