Some of the Virgin Island's most popular artists, particularly those who depict island scenes and people, are displayed in originals, prints and on cards. Many painters are represented from islands throughout the region. There are often one-person shows by artists, some well known on the island, others internationally recognized. Thomas hand screens maps and serigraph scenes on canvas at the Tillett Art Gallery. He will greet you in the screen-printing studio and explain the silk screening process as he works at his 40 foot long print table.
Refreshments are close at hand.
The nearby splashing fountain and garden restaurant and bar provides a cool setting for lunch, dinner and drinks through the day. The Kilnworks Pottery and Art Gallery farther along on Route 38, a working pottery studio, is the creation of talented Peggy Seiwert who produces an array of our sea and sky colors in elegant ceramics. Besides her own pieces, Peggy also displays other artists' works in enamelware, watercolors and sculpture. Look for the big sculpture of an iguana near the gallery's entrance. On St. John, at Mongoose Junction, Aase Pedersen of Wicker, Wood and Shells has developed an outstanding gallery for island art.
