The artwork in Pura Vida was created at the intimate artist residency at the Julia and David White Artists Colony in Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica during March 2020. Amid the ever-changing news of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, all four artists had time and space devoted to exploring art and nature on an individual level. Collectively, they were also able to absorb and respond to the unsettling uncertainties unfolding throughout the world during the pandemic. 

The virtual opening and artist talk is free, but you must register in advance.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
