Virginia Dehn (née Engleman) (1922 - 2005) was an American painter and printmaker who studied at Stephens College in Columbia, MO before moving to New York City. Her work was known for its interpretation of natural themes in almost abstract forms. She exhibited in shows and galleries throughout the U.S. Her paintings are included in many public collections. She was part of a group of artists who influenced the history of 20th century American Art, and the Chelsea brownstone she shared with her husband, artist Adolf Dehn, was a place where artists, writers, and intellectuals often gathered.
The Dehns made annual trips to France to work on lithographs at the Atelier Desjobert in Paris. The Dehns’ other travels included visits to Key West, Colorado, Mexico, and countries such as Greece, Haiti, Afghanistan, and India. After moving to New Mexico in 1985, some of Dehn's painting began to take on a sculptural quality, as she began working materials such as clay and metallic substances into her paintings.
