Dear Friend, After years of travel in Mexico and indulging ourselves in learning about Mexican culture by exploring Mexican folk art, we have turned a love into a business.
But it remains first a love.
We specialize in folk art and fine art from Mexico, and occasionally have a few items from selected South and Central American countries. Each item is personally selected by
Larry Sanders, our resident artist and, though similar items may be available, because all items are handcrafted, they are all different. The original concept for this site was to have pictures and descriptions of
at least a representative sample of what we had as well as discussions of various topics in Mexican Folk Art. That was our concept for twelve years. However, the site grew over that time to become
unweildy and impossible to keep up to date.
Also changes in shipping quality have made safe shipping of many items more expensive than the items themselves. For that reason, we have greatly decreased the size of this site.
Our old site had discussions of Oaxacan Woodcarvings, tin and ironwork from San Miguel de Allende, masks, the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Day of the Dead, Christmas in Mexico (including Nativity sets), Frida
Kahlo, pottery (including both useful and art pottery--of the Aguilar family, the Medrano family, the various work from Oaxaca, Mexico City, Patsquaro, and Guadalajara, among others), paintings, textiles, jewelry
(mostly silver jewelry from Taxco), and sacred art (including biblical scenes in pottery and wood, trees of life and death, and santos).
We carry art in all of these categories. Please don’t hesitate to email us with questions about our present stock.
