About This Image

My wanders in Central America have so far been just a fleeting glance at the vibrant life there. But the memories of this particular Costa Rica beach are still strong years later. We were told this little slice of tropical paradise is called Playa Hermosa, which translates basically into beautiful beach – fitting eh? And in the late afternoon sunlight, the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica spoke to me loudly. It was in this place more than any other that trip that the words “Pura Vida” resonated with me.

And I found a lot of inspiration in the silhouettes of the people in the golden light on that Costa Rica beach. When I look at scenes like this, even though I was there standing on that beach, it’s the silhouettes of the people that connect me with the moment. I live vicariously through them just as much as my own memories of that beautiful Costa Rica beach.

And in this scene in particular, I think there’s a sense of flashing back to my own childhood with the pair of boys standing in the beach sand together. It reminds me of old friends and my cousins when we were young. Do you have those same flashes of memories past? Or perhaps if you have children, this Costa Rica beach scene stirs up memories even more recent?

Not only does this slice of tropical paradise stir up memories for me, it makes me want to buy a one way plane ticket and find my own little stretch of Costa Rica beach to call home! In the meantime, I will have to use this beach print as my portal to those dreams… Wistful Sigh!

Have you experienced Pura Vida in Costa Rica? Does this particular print simply call to you because it brings back fond memories of old friends or your own children? Or maybe you just love beach decor? I hope you’ll take a few moments to share your thoughts with me!

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
