Some of the more well known artists that I visit on The
Artisan Village Tours are the Aguilar Sisters of Ocotlán.
I usually spend the most time with Josefina (pictured) and her eldest
son, Demetrio. He is also well known for his painting and paper maché
work. In the nearby village of San Antonino I enjoy visiting Luis Valencia
and his family as well as José Luis Garcia. José became blind about 5
years ago but still continues to create magnificent sculptures.
In San Bartolo Coyotepec I'm a frequent visitor to the Abraham Reyes
family, Floriberta Reyes Gómez (miniatures), Carlomagno Pedro
Martínez, Magdalena Pedro Martínez and Adelina Pedro Martínez.
