The two generations of Crucian artists, El Roy Simmonds (and Niarus Walker) will be exhibiting their work displayed. Both share the same love of expression.

David Simmonds was born and was raised within Christiansted. He graduated with an BA in the College of the Virgin Islands which is now known as known as the University of the Virgin Islands. Then, he was as an exchange student in the ***** Academy, Copenhagen, Denmark. There he studied the relationship and history between the Danish Virgin Islands and Denmark. The results of this research are evident in his work later. He completed the Masters in Fine Art at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
