The David L. White Collection is one of BNG’s most important permanent collections. Painted during the first half of the 20th century by leading American Impressionists, the works capture the open landscapes and languid sun-drenched days of life in old Bermuda.

Offerings invites the viewer to join California-based Bermudian artist Soleé Darrell in meditation and reflection. The kaleidoscopic works embrace the power of stillness and remind us of our sense of inter-connection – to nature, to a power greater than self, and to each other.
