Guadalupe is the aunt of Rafael, the folk artist

who makes our dogs.

Guadalupe working on one of the heads in her studio.

These heads are fired clay, one of a kind,

and describe the mythology

surrounding the lives of women

from the viewpoint of the artist.

They are magnificent. They are wood-fired

clay pottery, and are extraordinary examples
of the breadth and depth of creativity found

in the arts community in Mexico.

Below are eight heads I brought back.

each piece.
