Virginia Rose Torrence was born in 1991 in Midland MI. She obtained her BFA from The College for Creative Studies in 2013 and her MFA from Alfred University in 2016. She currently lives and works in Hamtramck MI. This body of work is made of curated daily remnants and found objects, cast into and encapsulated within slabs of resin. The objects comprise fragmented scenes that point to still-lifes and portraiture paintings; She is drawn towards the presence of absence within these art forms, the representations of remnants of life, and the desire those vestiges provoke.

Torrence was featured in the group exhibition "Reflecting Pool" in the winter of 2020.
