New Member Spotlight: The Creative Native is a new art gallery located at the Grand Galleria in downtown St. Thomas. The gallery features native Virgin Islander Ama Dennis’ fine art photography, where she exhibits a thoughtfully curated collection of images exemplifying Virgin Islands history, diverse cultures and vignettes of the captivating scenery. A visit to the gallery is like a walking tour in the comfort of an air-conditioned environment. Come for the imagery, leave with an experience.
 
As the gallerist, owner and photographer, Ama endeavors to showcase a full dimension of the Virgin Islands through beautiful imagery. The artwork is perfectly suited for hotels, condos, restaurants as well as residential spaces where visitors come to explore and immerse themselves in the Virgin Islands environment.
 
Whether your space is big or small, your walls can be transformed by a customized art piece that fits your taste and style. The art you select can be custom framed, stretched on canvas, mounted on acrylic, made into a wall covering or printed on metal. All the art, except for metal prints, is produced right here in the Creative Native gallery.

Looking forward to working with you!
Ama L. Dennis
