Welcome to Peyote People, my name is Kevin and together with my wife Beatriz we run a small gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexicothat works directly with the Huichol Indians that live inSan Andres Cohamiata, Jalisco. Over the last 10years we have developed very close relationships with a number of Huicholfamilies.

This is a sensational Iguana that measures 10.5\" long 5.5\" wide and is 4\" tall

Santos Bautista is not just another Huichol bead artist, he was one of the pioneers of the bead art and is thewinner of the 2009 FONART Competitionas best Huichol Bead Artist. Thisexclusive signature series of bead art was done with new iridescent and metalic glass beads that areimportedby usfor only the best artists like Santos Bautista to work with. The iridescent beads are much more subtle than the commercial primary color beads, unfortunately the photos don\'t do them justice!!

Huichol art abounds today in places like , as well as tourist towns like Puerto Vallarta. A simple google search will bring up more web sites than there are Huichol!! The true art however is very difficult to find. It does not come from Huichol that live in the city, but rather those who actually live in the sierra, those who are involved in doing the ceremonies and rituals that make up what it means to be Huichol.Santos Bautistais theson of Jose Bautista and grandson of Antonio Bautista one of the pioneers of Huichol art in the 1960\'s.Because of their experience we have imported new Czech glass beads with metalic and iridescent colors forSantos to work with. The new colors not only giveSantos a softer touch than the harsh primary colors that abound in the market but add a level of detail that seperate his work from the rest of the artists. Most commercial art is made up of sybols which at times can be like quilting or patchwork patterns while Santos work tends to use the piece as a whole and it flows or has motion to it.
