Dreams CAN come true in Playa!!





When fellow peeps, Jim & Penny (Riviera Maya arr) arrived in Playa less than two years ago, they could not have imagined this!!

They left behind family and a retail art publishing business in Georgia to follow their dream to live in Playa.

Who knows when a "new" dream is born?

Local peeps that know and love Jim & Penny are so happy to be able to celebrate with them the opening of TURTLE BEACH ART on Calle 10 @ 5th. y 10th. Ave.

Jim and Penny have taken their knowledge of art publishing and their love of their new adopted country and produced some of the most beautiful, incredible prints of the Riviera Maya.

Jim is also representing another peep with an eye for this area. Popeye's lovely watercolors & acrylics have even been turned into luscious, affordable prints and if you want an original, you can get that, too.

Penny is in the states right now dealing with some medical issues so please keep her in your prayers and stop by and say hi to Jim, he is there everyday from 2 PM- 10 PM.

Congratulations Jim and Penny!

It was alot of blood, sweat, and tears but you did it! Dreams CAN come true in Playa!!
