Virginia Bounds works from Anchor Studio in Newlyn, part of Trewarveneth Studios. This was once the location of Stanhope and Elizabeth FORBES' art school. Subsequently Anchor Studio became the working space of JOHN WELLS.

Bounds was a recipient in 2014 of an Arts Council England Grants for the Arts award for an 18-month artistic development programme. This enabled her to develop her subject matter and create new paintings based on the landscape and evocative plantings at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
