GREETINGS FROM THE RAINFOREST


National Geographic Magazine has described Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula as “the most biologically intense place on the planet”. Here, the lush rainforest literally hangs over secluded beaches pounded by the Pacific surf. Scarlet macaws, toucans, parrots, and hundreds of other bird species rule the skies above. Countless monkeys swing through the trees, and the sound of cicadas in the hot, humid forest is deafening. Artistic inspiration wells up inside our souls, and we are set free. Colours explode onto paper and canvas, volcanic as the sand beneath our feet.
