Virginia Alice Stroud (March 13, 1951 – November 8, 2024) Native American painter from Oklahoma.

From 1968 to 1970, she attended Bacone College and studied art under Cheyenne painter Dick West, who made her his studio assistant.

She drew inspiration from Bacone school Flatstyle painting and historical ledger art,[3] as well as ancient pictographs.

Over her career, Stroud developed a narrative style with minimal facial details in her people and lavish floral backgrounds.

[11] In 1970, Stroud became the youngest Native artist to win first place in the Woodlands division of the Philbrook Museum's annual juried art show.
