ABOUT

 

 

Welcome! I’m Virginia Peckenpaugh, the artist, designer, and owner of Virginia Day Studio. As the sole creator behind this vibrant small business, I pour my passion and creativity into every piece you see here.

With over 14 years of experience in corporate America as a textile designer, engineer, and developer, I launched Virginia Day Studio as a creative outlet. What started as crafting polymer clay earrings at my dining room table has grown into a full-fledged jewelry business with its own dedicated studio in Milwaukee.

My designs are inspired by a love for hearts, tulips, and the bold spirit of my Scorpio nature. Drawing influences from diverse cultures, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and geometric symmetry, I aim to create timeless, playful, and wearable pieces.

You can often find me showcasing my work at local markets or enjoying Milwaukee's farmers markets and pet-friendly spots with my dog, Louie.

Thank you for supporting Virginia Day Studio and for being part of this journey!
