Virginia Demetrios

Virginia Demetrios, founder of the artists’ collective known as The Folly Cove Designers, is better known as Virginia Lee Burton, author and illustrator of such beloved children’s books as 1943 Caldecott-award winner "The Little House: Her Story" and "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel." Demetrios was trained as a dancer and many of her textile designs focus on the body in motion, from dance-themed designs to more unexpected physical endeavors, including boxing, calisthenics, or even the rigors of the linoleum block printing process used to create the original designs.
