“Local Marine Haven” — by Local Artist Marilyn Heavener

Marilyn Heavener brings her signature jewel‑box artistry to this tropical mixed‑media creation. The palm tree rises from a trunk built of carefully arranged shells and shoreline pebbles, each one adding texture and warmth. Its fronds shimmer with layered green beads and coastal accents, crowned with a starfish and hand‑placed embellishments that give the piece movement and sparkle.

Radiating the sun‑soaked charm of Florida’s tropical landscapes, this artwork blends natural materials with Marilyn’s playful elegance — a vibrant, coastal keepsake that feels right at home in Matlacha’s artistic spirit.
