“We've been collecting Huichol Art for a long time. Huichol Art is our environment and surrounding. It is the last thing I see before going to sleep and the first thing I see before getting up in the morning. We have some truly incredible nierkias (yarn paintings) and beaded art work. They depict Huichol cosmology. Many pieces came out of the vision of a Shaman. Many times a day I look at them and my soul relaxes. Looking at hem I feel connected with the Huichol people. Collecting these incredible pieces of art is our small contribution to sustaining this amazing ancient culture.”
Each yarn painting is a neirika, a doorway. I think of them as windows, windows to the realm of the gods and by hanging them on my walls I am adding a window that is inviting life force, joy and beauty into my home.”
“I've been collecting Huichol art for over twenty-five years. The art made by the Huichol shaman is truly magical - the colors and symbols are a beautiful reminder of the existence of the world beyond our daily human lives.”
