You’ll experience a unique, intimate perspective on the Florida landscape, where overlapping plant forms and complex textures serve as a powerful metaphor for our modern environment. It is a fantastic opportunity for art lovers and nature enthusiasts to meet a local Flagler College professor and explore the meticulous craftsmanship behind one of Northeast Florida’s most dedicated artists.
Wander & Rest Tip
After admiring Donald Martin’s intricate nature-inspired prints, continue your day of discovery with a stop at The Floridian for fresh, farm-to-table Southern fare or Catch 27 for a taste of local seafood. For a relaxing coffee break on your way back to Vilano Beach, The Kookaburra offers the perfect Australian-inspired atmosphere to reflect on the exhibit’s artistic detail. Once you return to your Wander & Rest sanctuary at Saltwater & Sunsets or Coast & Palms, fully unwind by taking a dip in the heated saltwater pool, soothing your muscles in the hot tub, or detoxing in the private sauna. Whether you’re lounging in the spacious, thoughtfully designed interiors or gathering around the fire pit, it’s the ideal way to cap off a day of artistic and local exploration.
