Delray Beach artist building studio on barge near Peanut Island - wflx - An artist is taking his studio straight to his inspiration.
You'll never find William DeBilzan far from the water. "I've always loved this area," he said. "The beauty of the area here; the water is so clear." The artist, with galleries in Delray Beach and California, is living on a boat. Now, he's taking things to another level. Just east of Peanut Island, DeBilzan set up a 2,400 square-foot barge. Soon, it'll be his new, two-story studio but the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said it is looking at the situation. A representative from Palm Beach County said permits are normally needed for a project like this.
