December 2000: Portrait Memorials for the Government of the British Virgin Islands
Sculpture by Art Blevins. Art completed a commission of five life-size bronze portrait busts for the Government of the British Virgin Islands. The deceased individuals sculpted were the first elected Legislative Council members of the British Virgin Islands Government. The portraits were a focal point of the 50th Anniversary celebration of the restoration of the Legislative Council of the British Virgin Islands. Four of the sculptures were installed along the front of the Legislative Council Building in the capital city of Road Town on the island of Tortola, and the fifth sculpture was installed on the island of Anegada.
Standing behind the portrait bust of Theodolph Faulkner are, left to right, sculptor Art Blevins; The Honourable Chief Minister, Ralph T. O'Neal; and His Excellency the Governor, Mr. Frank J. Savage. The portrait is installed in front of Mr. Faulkner's birthplace and home, which is now a designated historic landmark, on the Island of Anegada, British Virgin Islands.
