Studios of Cocoa Beach presents an exceptional summer exhibition featuring two compelling showcases: Hazel Griffiths' solo exhibition “Between Worlds” and the vibrant group exhibition “Surf’s Up,” running from June 29 through August 3, 2026.

“Between Worlds” invites viewers into the atmospheric landscapes created by Hazel Griffiths, a multidisciplinary artist originally from England who works extensively with encaustic and mixed media. Encaustic, a technique derived from the Greek word meaning “to heat or burn,” is a medium made up of a mixture of resin, beeswax, and pigment. Hazel makes her own encaustic medium and then builds layers to create textured surfaces that evoke memory and environment. Hazel’s work draws from her deep connection to the rolling fields and hills of Herefordshire that contrasts with the subtler, shifting terrains of Florida. Her art captures the essence of familiar and unfamiliar landscapes, immersing viewers in a dialogue between place and personal history.
