Hi! My name is Petra. I am a visual artist coming from Croatia.
I study painting, and also enjoy (newly discovered) photography and design.
Autoportrait,
Oil on canvas,
50 x 40
My paintings and photographs are inspired by nature and her forces, people and their stories.
Apart from creating, I enjoy hiking, camping, and discovering new places with my husband. We are always accompanied by our two doggy companions - Mona and Mariposa.
I am excited to share with you the best views from our hikes and glimpses of underrated places you can find in Croatia.
This is a photo from one of our hikes. River Krupa, located in our beautiful country.
During the summer, we like to wander through the Croatian islands. This is a photo I took on a walk through the city centre of Korčula.
I feel happy about joining this community, and excited to share all that inspires me, in a hope to inspire you!
*All photos are taken by me *

Hello @petraa! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome!

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works.
Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.
In addition, since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account yet. For assistance with a temporary delegation to get you started, be sure to check out the Gift Giver site.
If you have questions, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!
