Marathon’s newest creative outlet celebrated its grand opening on July 23 as Tropical Epoxy Vibe and Flow Studio welcomed guests, local dignitaries and the Marathon Chamber of Commerce to its new location at 10694 Aviation Blvd. The studio marks a new evolution for business owner Whitney Simmons, whose epoxy art, countertops and designer finishes can be seen at dozens of businesses and private homes throughout the Middle Keys. Simmons has been hard at work curating a palette of paint pouring and epoxy classes open to the public – no experience necessary. For class details and artwork samples, visit tropicalepoxy.com.
