About El Art of Traveling
By Tamara Mateos
Fernandez King

I’m Tamara — artist, photographer, traveler, teacher, wife, and dog mom. But above all, I’m a seeker of beauty, movement, and meaning.

El Art of Traveling was born from a lifelong passion for capturing the essence of the world — the raw, the quiet, the colorful, the bold. From bungee jumping over Dallas Fort Worth to diving into the mystical cenotes of Mexico, I live for the moments that stir the soul and awaken the senses.

I’ve wandered through more than 40 countries, not just to see, but to feel. I immerse myself in each place — savoring local dishes, volunteering, sitting with strangers, observing everyday life. It’s in these small but powerful moments that I find my inspiration:

✨ Children laughing in the streets

✨ Elders sharing stories over coffee

✨ Vibrant flowers blooming in unexpected corners

✨ Sacred spaces that breathe history — temples, mosques, ruins

Through this store, I’m honored to share fragments of those moments with you. Every piece — whether it’s a custom print, hand-painted canvas, or one-of-a-kind ceramic — is infused with a story, a feeling, a memory.

I created El Art of Traveling so that you could take home more than just décor. You take home a piece of the world, a piece of my journey, and hopefully, a spark of your own wanderlust.

With love and adventure,

TMFK
