Publisher's Letter

From The Publisher’s Desk

On our cover is Westlake resident Marsha Montoya, a noted sculpture artist who has created pieces known the world over. In our feature story on Montoya, you’ll learn about her creative process that leads to larger-than-life creations in bronze to one-of-a-kind mosaic jewelry pieces. We also preview Westlake’s FourthFest celebration on Saturday, July 4. The community’s largest annual event, FourthFest will also mark the city’s 10th anniversary. Meanwhile, if you’re seeking summer fun, look no further than the Westlake Adventure Park, where you can enjoy all that the season has to offer without ever leaving home.

Dr. Jean Russell and Dr. Deanna Pandolfo of Dental Care at Seminole Ridge, profiled this issue, offer everything from routine cleanings and checkups to orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry, all while taking an active role in supporting the Westlake community.

Next, we visit the venerable Norton Museum of Art, one of the true gems of the Palm Beaches. Finally, we visit the Dancing Crane restaurant in the Sandhill Crane Golf Club. Featuring great food with amazing golf course views, the Dancing Crane is operated by noted restaurateur Avi Sekerel.

From all of us here at Westlake The Magazine, we offer congratulations to the Class of 2026 at Seminole Ridge High School. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you will accomplish!
