Jan Yatsko invites you to connect with Costa Rican art, nature and culture.

Experience Costa Rica in 4 different ways:

1. Learn new observation, creative thinking and travel art journal skills on an Explore & Create in Costa Rica tour. “When I was looking for an art vacation, Jan’s tour stood out over the others.  It was a ‘people tour’ and not just another tour that involved stops to look at buildings.” DonnaLee from CA

2. Learn about Costa Rican art, nature and culture while you create your own “Postcard from Costa Rica” during a mini art workshop designed for all abilities and ages.  A unique acitivity for travel incentive tour groups, bird watching groups, yoga and spa retreats as well as for families and individuals staying at selected hotels and B&B’s.

3. Hang one of Jan’s paintings in your home.  Each painting visually depicts the myths, sayings or stories of daily life in Costa Rica.

4. Live the “Pura Vida” life in Costa Rica through Jan’s insightful and informative newsletters.  They often contain “between the lines” information that rarely gets published in a guide book.
