Sandy Meyer arrives on St. Thomas next week for her annual watercolor exhibition at the Tillett Gallery and two days of watercolor workshops on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 13 and 14, in the Tillett Gardens complex.
Her show will open with a reception before, at the intermission of, and following the Siegel-Schwall Blues Band concert in the garden on Wednesday, Jan. 12. That will be open to concertgoers only, but the works will be on display through the end of the month and open to public viewing during regular gallery hours — daily except Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The two watercolor workshops Meyer will conduct on Friday and Saturday are open to experienced and beginning painters alike, with artists working at their own skill levels under her supervision. Participants may attend either day, or both. Each individual will complete a painting by day's end in either case.
Workshop hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Registration is $30 for one day (either Friday or Saturday) or $50 for both; the fee does not include the cost of materials. Because space is limited, pre-registration is requested. For reservations or more information, call 775-1929, fax to 775-9482 or e-mail to tillett@islands.vi.
Meyer, a Nebraska resident, takes island images home with her each winter and returns a year later with paintings of local flora, fauna, places and people. Meticulous detail characterizes her works, which also include florals and landscapes depicting the American Midwest.
