Visit the Jonna White Gallery, a legend in St. Thomas for many years! You will instantly be dazzled by the uniqueness of this art, truly unlike any you have ever seen. Jonna White has taken the 500 year old technique of etching from the traditional black and white to a higher level. Jonna deeply embosses her hand-made paper providing a dramatic contrast for the richly colored images. Exotic animals, undersea worlds, mythical figures and far away places are just a few of the subjects of the artist’s amazing etchings, one of the largest collections in the world.

Come visit the gallery on Main Street and see for yourself why Jonna White Gallery has been shining for almost three decades.
