Feb. 28, 2002 – An exhibition of new paintings by Aphrodite will open Friday at the Frames of Mind Gallery in the old Lumberyard complex in Cruz Bay. The public is invited to the meet-the-artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
Aphrodite's tropical island images are familiar to many local art aficionados. For many years, she was a winter-season Virgin Islands visitor. Now, she and her husband own a home on St. Thomas's East End.
"She works mostly in oil and some in watercolor," Frames of Mind co-owner John Baldwin says. "Her inspiration comes from the local landscape and local people."
The show consists of about 30 paintings ranging in price from $300 to $3,000. It will hang through March 15.
"After a very successful exhibit of her work last year, we are very excited about her new work that she will be showing starting this Friday," Baldwin said.
