Meet the Artist

Jeannette Trejos

I've always been inspired by women and their creative power, as well as nature, particularly the fauna of our country, like the birds and butterflies that surround me.

"My name is Jeannette Trejos and I was born in Costa Rica. My childhood was very peaceful, living with my parents and my... sister, a small but close-knit family. I grew up watching my father paint, a man who, with great effort and hard work, provided for us. He took some painting courses; it was his favorite pastime. However, due to his illnesses, he stopped painting, and I still cherish some of his paintings.

"I remember enjoying painting and drawing in school. An art teacher told me that I should take an art course at the university because I had a talent for drawing. I still have some of the works I did in school, mostly with pastel chalk and graphite, which were what I could use at the time.

"Following my teacher's advice, I took an art course at the university and realized that I loved everything related to art. I entered the Fine Arts program. Creating paintings not only allows me to express my ideas but also to release my fears, worries, and joys – it's a true catharsis.

"Teaching art in schools and universities has allowed me to transmit my appreciation and love for art and the act of creation to my students.

"The most beautiful part for me is facing a blank canvas and creating from an idea or thought. It's always a challenge, and seeing the results brings great satisfaction. I've always been inspired by women and their creative power, as well as nature, particularly the fauna of our country, like the birds and butterflies that surround me.

"Perceiving nature as something important and transcendent for future generations, eliciting feelings of love, solidarity towards our surroundings – these are aspects I aim to convey in each of my paintings.

"Working with acrylic and oil are my favorite mediums. The marks I achieve in the painting are made with very watered-down acrylic, and then I include realistic details with oil to express my more concrete ideas.

"Being established as an artist is challenging, as living off art is a constant struggle because society doesn't always value art.

"I would like to mention two recognitions I received. In 2004, I obtained second place by popular vote in the First Mural Painting Contest organized by "The Butterfly Farmer" in La Guácima, Alajuela, Costa Rica. In the same year, I received another recognition, first place in the Mural Painting Contest "Coffee, Tradition, and Sustainability" organized by "Café Britt" and "Beneficio Tierra Madre" in Heredia, Costa Rica.

"I've always longed to showcase my work outside my country, and thanks to Novica, I'll be able to achieve that. One needs to be patient because dreams come true gradually. I hope you enjoy my art and can bring a piece of Costa Rica into your homes."

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
