| Functional and non-functional work in wood ranges from
hand-painted storage cabinets and trunks from Guatemala to an army of
whimsical wood carvings: armadillos, porcupines, dogs and cats. Legions
of lizards by Zaraté march across the walls next to incredible works by
the grand masters such as Isidoro Cruz, Gabino Reyes, and Epifanio
Fuentes. We have wooden masks, santos and retablos from all regions:
both modern and antique, and rare religious wood carvings, including
nativities/crèches/nacimientos of all sizes and types. |

Gabino Reyes' work in
woodcarving is exceptional, with an emphasis to fine detail. He
is among the best of the Oaxacan woodcarvers, and his work is
not widely available and are true treasures.

Master carver
Inocencio Vasquez loves to delve into his
village's superstitious past. Nahuals (human figures with
animal faces) and drunken skeletons are some of his
signature works. Each one of his creations has a timeless
quality to it. He says of his work " I capture the
combination of good and bad in life."

Master carver
Reynaldo Santiago's pieces are wonderfully expressive,
and have a delightful primitive quality about them. Painted
in great detail to give each piece a personality that shines
through its wooden visage, Reynaldo's work has an earthy,
authentic quality about it.
