On Friday, March 1, the magnificent artwork of watercolour artist Jill Tattersall will be displayed during an exhibition of watercolor paintings, "Memories of the BVI", at the Old Sugar Works Museum.

Jill, 81, has lived in the Territory since 1965 and delights in painting her recollections of the early days in the BVI.

The opening ceremony will take place at 5:30 pm to celebrate her first solo show and the exhibition continues throughout the month. Museum opening times are 9:00 am - 3:00 pm and persons can call 494-9206 for further information.

Jill has acted as Reuter's correspondent in the BVI and has written many of both fiction and non-fiction books. She has become a well-known watercolour artist and also writes poetry. She has given community service on the BVI in several ways, such as on the Library Committee.

In her spare time, she has become a prominent local historian and archaeologist, as well as an internationally known expert on the lost languages of the Caribs and the Arawaks.
