Bolivia through a painter’s eyes: Travelling artist Natasha Cross in South America
Listen now
Description
Travelling artist Natasha Cross, who’s originally from London, has been making her way up through South America; painting, volunteering and teaching as she goes. She’s currently in Bolivia, a country which stole her heart and stopped her in her tracks three years ago.  During that time, Natasha has seen the country go through a political crisis and was at one point walking through blockades to get to work. Shortly after, the pandemic struck and to keep herself busy in lockdown, she used painting as a way of documenting what she witnessed. Natasha’s also got some funny stories to tell, like the time her colleague accidentally painted a devil on the wall of a kindergarten class - more on that later. As a travel destination, Bolivia is often overshadowed by neighbouring Peru and Chile, but Natasha says for those who are up for an adventure, Bolivia will reward its visitors with some real off-the-beaten-path beauty spots.
