Join Mindy Lighthipe & Nancy Richmond on a 10 day Artistic Adventure to the Central Valley and  Caribbean region of Costa Rica.

Mindy Lighthipe, botanical artist & Nancy Richmond, nature photographer have been traveling to Costa Rica since 1989. Each year brings something new and exhilarating to paint and photograph. The flora and fauna is never ending. Mother Nature is the ultimate artist! Our passion for this beautiful place has spilled over into our teaching. As artists we marvel at the world around us and it is with great pleasure that we personally invite you to come with us to Costa Rica for an incredibly fun and unique Artists/Photographers workshop "Bugs, Beasts & Botanicals!"

Mindy does lots of drawing and painting demonstrations to help you tackle exciting botanical and natural science subjects in the field. Nancy teaches digital photography techniques to artists, photographers and nature enthusiasts. Learn to download your images onto a  laptop and burn CDs right in the jungle! Go behind the scenes of animal and plant conservation efforts and experience what few ecotourists ever encounter. Draw, photograph and more! You stay at beautiful hotels and eat great meals! Join us for a wild, tropical, learning tour of Costa Rica.
