Virgil received a B.A. in Math and Physics, Austin College, M.S. in Mathematics, Southern Methodist University, Doctor of Medicine, The University of Texas, and Post Doctoral Neuroradiology Fellowship, University of Wisconsin.  Virgil is a full time sculptor.  He presents his work in three-dimensional form in bronze.  The goal is to share the beauty and mystical feel of the subject with the viewer.  Virgil's primary subjects are the wildlife and indigenous people of the West.

Bronze is permanent, cold and hard.  Incorporating negative space, form and gesture, softens and adds life to the sculpture.  Virgil strives for anatomic and historic correctness, but not photographic realism.  Bronze has the natural quality to acquire patinas, when patinas are incorporated into the sculpture it adds warmth and color.  A sculpture should draw a person to it over and again, produce complex feelings and emotions.  It should re-create special moments or experiences.  Virgil wants the viewers to be able to capture that special feeling, relive an experience or feel the energy of the subject.

Virgil's work is represented in Galleries in Texas  and Montana.  His sculptures have selected for the C. M. Russell Museum Juried auction and shows for Art in the Park, Ducks and Trout Unlimited.  His sculptures are in private collections in Montana, Texas, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon and Toronto.
