I have traveled to Oaxaca to see the abundant art that is part of this city and its surrounding villages. The work that we see in the states that come from here is a small representation of what is offered. My plan was to see as much as possible. My sister Bellita, who lives in Charlotte, N.C. joined me for three weeks of my stay. We have started exploring the area.
Here are some photos of the studio and gallery of one of the foremost artists Zeny Fuentes, who carves the delightful painted animal figures. The painting is done by his wife, Reyna Pina and helpers. Repair work is done by others. Their studio is in San Martin Tilcojete, Oaxaca. The fourth is of the lizard that will come home with me.
