Embracing Adventure and Art in Mexico

Image
Time has flown by over the past month, and I find it hard to sit down and write. The allure of adventure calls me, especially as I explore the charming small towns of Mexico, each brimming with stunning architecture, captivating sculptures, and an abundance of free art museums. My days have been filled with pinning amazing murals and potential destinations on Google Maps, all while discovering quirky cafes that fuel my creative spirit.

Introduction to ArTtr3k

Image
Welcome to my first ever blog, called Art Tr3k       ( Art trek)  by Dejana Lukac. As it literally will be me trekking around Central and South America with just my backpack full of art supplies.  I’m taking a year off from teaching art to explore different forms of creativity. I’ll connect with friends in the tattoo business to learn about their craft and culture. After that, I’ll travel solo, painting murals in remote spots across Central and South America. This year is all about growth and becoming a stronger artist and educator. Join me as I share the magic of artistic expression and the stories behind each creation. Together, we'll discover the beauty of art on the road.
