about the artist: jelena jovanovic
If there is such a thing as a travel gene, she has it! Her parents, grandparents and great grandparents have all lived an expat life at some point in their lives. She has been an expat since the age of seven. She grew up and lived in six , culturally, completely different countries. It is of little surprise that she ended up working in the travel industry. Lots of work, little travel. So, in 2013 she took a three month sabbatical and backpacked from Panama to Mexico. She realized three months was not enough. In May 2018, she quit her job and traveled for almost two years when Covid-19 put a halt on my her travel adventure and set in motion her creative venture. She discovered that she can merge sketching, traveling and metalsmithing to create nature and travel impressions in copper, silver and brass. You can find more of her work here:
