Building blogger displays his art
We linked to the Amansala building blog a few weeks ago, and one of the two folks undertaking that huge project is Memphis artist Tom Clifton, whose St. John debut is this week. Tom’s paintings will be featured at an art show called Waters of Eden at The Best of Both Worlds gallery in Mongoose Junction, starting March 21. (It coincides with the start of the St. John Blues Festival.) Tom, pictured here at his Memphis studio with best friend Atlas, will be on hand Wednesday from 7 - 9 p.m. Here’s a couple of quotes from the gallery’s news release: “The coral reefs around St. John when the sunlight passes through the water are like canyons of jewels,” says Tom. And with the increasing time he’s spending on St. John, “the magnificence of the Virgin Islands is casting its spell.”
Tom his building Amansala with his other best friend Pat. She tells us they’re doing their part to support the St. John economy this week, bringing a dozen friends down for the opening and the Blues Festival.
Check out Tom’s paintings, and other art, sculpture and jewelry made by artists from on-island and off-island at Best of Both Worlds. It’s next to Paradiso Restaurant. Here’s the gallery’s Website.
