With Pier Park forecast to become the new "Downtown Panama City Beach," I thought it would be fitting for me to open my new studio within this amazing, modern complex. Its collection of great restaurants and espresso bars, modern retail shops, and a state-of-the-art movie theatre signifies the progress that Panama City Beach is making and is the next step in the city's development. The 1.1 million sq. ft., open-air center is ideally situated right in the heart of Panama City Beach and Its modern design and new approach to the retail shopping experience in Panama City Beach make it a perfect place for me to bring my artistic talents to fruition in a new studio. Developed by Simon Property Group, Pier Park will serve as the premier shopping destination for the Panama City Beach market and the entire Emerald Coast.
