ne of the best kept secrets about the coastal beach town of Jacó is an art scene that takes many unsuspecting visitors by surprise. It runs the gamut from live music to live art shows and artist’s expositions throughout the year.
Within this vibrant corps of local artists is an amazing subset of strong women, leading the way. I recently had the pleasure of sitting down to talk with three of these remarkable female artists in Playa Jacó. Here are some highlights of what they had to say.
Paula Simons: artist, photographer Originally from Sweden, Paula Simons moved to Costa Rica in 2013 after spending time traveling throughout Central America. Inspired by the surf and the local people, she quickly got the feeling that Jacó felt like home. From the time she was a young child, Paula always had a fascination capturing unique images through the family camera. As a teenager, having received her first point-and-shoot camera, she was able to start exploring her passion further, inspired by nature and creating art from the photos she took during walks around her garden.
