Artists Background
Jacobo Angeles Ojeda is considered one of the finest woodcarvers of his generation. He draws from pre-Columbian Zapotec culture, designs and ancient motifs. His work is intricately painted, whimsical and arresting.
Jorge Quintana, coauthor of the book The Many Faces of Mata Ortiz, is considered to be one of the best potters of Mata Ortiz. He is known for his exquisitely symmetrical polychrome pots and also for his experimentation with the use of different minerals to color his pots.
