Ray Miles, an artist and photographer born and raised in London who has lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands since 1961, will have 26 oil paintings on display Friday on St. Thomas.
Miles last showed his art on St. Thomas in 2017 and will kick off the weekend with an exhibit and reception at Seachange in Yacht Haven Grande from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
There is no fee for entry and wine will be served at the event.
“The 26 oil paintings showing at Seachange in Yacht Haven Grande are predominately of St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands; most paintings are of a nostalgic backtime nature,” said Miles.
The community is invited to come out and enjoy his paintings, with time set aside to speak with Miles about his exhibited work.
“Ray Miles’ paintings have a unique power to awaken nostalgia, granting us a glimpse into the past and evoking cherished memories of bygone days in the Virgin Islands,” said Ginny Edwards Maxwell, owner of Seachange.
For anyone who wishes to enjoy one of Mile’s masterpieces in their home, his artwork is for sale.
“I would like to see all the people of the Virgin Islands take pride and appreciate the natural beauty and charm of the Virgin Islands and do all they can to keep it that way,” Miles said.
