Island Impressions: The Art of Margit Kanstrup

Opening Reception: Thursday, June 27 at 5:30 p.m.

Join us in celebrating the vibrant life and artistic journey of Margit Kanstrup, a longtime St. Thomas resident whose oil paintings reflect her deep love for nature and the Virgin Islands. Born in Denmark during WWII, Margit made St. Thomas her home in the 1960s, immersing herself in the community and eventually channeling her creativity into art.

Her exhibit showcases landscapes and island scenes that echo her passion for beauty, community, and place. A former accountant, business owner, Carnival leader, and community volunteer, Margit’s legacy extends far beyond the canvas.

Unlike many news organizations, we haven't put up a paywall - we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. Our sites are more popular than ever, but advertising revenues are falling - so you can see why we could use your help. Our independent journalism costs time, money and hard work to keep you informed, but we do it because we believe that it matters. If everybody who appreciates our reporting efforts were to help fund it for as little as $1, our future would be much more secure. Thanks in advance for your support!
