Bajo el Sol Gallery Features Gail Van de Bogurt, Karen Samuel in February Show

Bajo el Sol Gallery hosting an Opening Reception for Gail Van de Bogurt and Karen Samuel on Friday, February 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Mongoose Junction gallery.
Both artists will be displaying new work at the opening.

During her years on St. John, artist Van de Bogurt has become know primarily for her work in clay.  Her functional and sculptural ceramics grace the homes of many private collectors. Van de Bogurt continues to grow as an artist in both her three-dimensional work, which will be featured, and in her two-dimensional ability which will grace many of her ceramic pieces.

Samuel’s work for the show will capture the people of the island. Working in her favorite medium, oil paints, her ability to capture the environment in which she has grown up and lives is unparalleled and her work as a seamstress is reflected in the attention to great detail in her paintings. Samuel is recognized for both her art and her giving back to her community.

Come celebrate with these St. John artists at the reception. Enhancing the evening will be beautiful classical guitar music by David Laabs. The gallery’s regular hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. The gallery is located at the top of the stone steps in Mongoose Junction.
