Jesús Mora is PAQUIME GALLERY founder and director.
Hola Amigos,
I began to get involved with the Mata Ortiz Pottery in the late 1990's, first starting as a translator for groups of visitors that came to the village and to Juarez City, where I first opened a coffee/gallery "Chihuahua Crafts Café Galería" in the year 2002 until 2004.
After a couple of years in Ciudad Juarez, I started to supply many art galleries, artcrafts shops, wholesale shops and art collectors; mostly in the south west of the United States, in cities like Santa Fe, Scottsdale, Laguna Beach, San Antonio, and visited many cities around the USA including New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco and other cities where we supply the pottery and did exhibitions showing the process on the making and firing of the pottery.
In 2003 I had the honor to meet Huichol artist Francisco "Pancho" Bautista and since then we began a working relation that then evolved into a great friendship, not only with Pancho but with his lovely wife Josefina, their daughters, and all his familly and friends.
One year later at an event in Guadalajara I met Zapotec artist Jacobo Angeles and started representing his wood carving Alebrijes in the different galleries I supplied in the United States.
In September 2004 I opened my first PAQUIME GALLERY in downtown Chihuahua City and began to supply galleries in the main touristic towns of México like Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, México City, Guanajuato, and in 2005 I reached the Baja Sur and Los Cabos área, where I fell in love with the area and saw lots of opportunities for the arts and artists I represent.
I moved to San José del Cabo in 2006 where I continued to supply local galleries and galleries around México and the USA.
Then in 2008 I opened and established PAQUIME GALLERY in San José Del Cabo, BCS, Mx.
PAQUIME GALLERY represents some of the most important and recognized artists of Mexican Contemporary Folk Art. Specializing in the finest Mata Ortiz Pottery including master Juan Quezada ceramic "Ollas", Modern Huichol Bead and Yarn Art by Francisco Bautista and his family, and Oaxaca Wood Carving Alebrijes by Jacobo and María Angeles.
