Information

Artist

Virginia Hoffman is an avant-garde artist whose abstract paintings and performances always elicit a flurry of mixed reviews. She's also one of the most sought after representational sculptors in the city, as she specializes in creating statures of retiring heroes. Her work adorns many a public park, but her real passion is experimental painting and sculpture. She's in touch with both the city's cultural underground and its heroes, which puts her in a position to hear a lot she's probably not supposed to. Luckily, she's a good-hearted soul and always passes on information about criminal activities to her hero friends.
