sculpture, jewelry, fiber, glass art, woodwork and even
repurposed surf boards.
The Studios of Cocoa Beach begins 2023 with Jamille

experience with stained glass and fused glass, from small
sculptural pieces to residential and commercial applications.
Oils on Wood and Canvas will feature Delia Swenson’s oil
paintings of Florida landscapes and fantastic floral selections.
In February, it’s Phyllis Shipley, A Life in the Arts. This
Rockledge resident has been producing fine art for 30 years
as a successful gallery owner and an award-winning artist
who has participated in shows and galleries internationally.
The Studios also offers a variety of learning opportunities,
from one-time workshops to ongoing classes for young and
not-so-young.
Art is alive and well in Titusville’s Downtown Gallery. In
September, owners Heidi and Jeff Thamert celebrated the

receptions, as well as a full framing studio.
“The number of talented artists in our area is amazing
and we love being at the center of art and culture in our
community,” Heidi Thamert said.
