Welcome to Peyote People, my name is Kevin and together with my wife Beatriz we run a small gallery in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that works directly with the Huichol Indians that live in San Andres Cohamiata, Jalisco. Over the last 10years we have developed very close relationships with a number of Huichol families. We feel privaledged to be able to say that we actually fly up into the Sierra to observe their ceremonies and take them supplies like the carvings that they use, but more importantly new glass beads with irridescent colors that we import for our artists to work with. We believe that the artist is just as valuble as the art; every piece that we sell is marked with the artist name and has a stamp that states their tribal affiliation which ads to the 1991 Indian Arts and Crafts Act.

This is an exceptional beaded goddess called Tactusi-Nakawe signed by the artist that stands 9.5" tall and is 3.5" in diameter. The artist, Juan Carrillo is a simple Huichol who comes from a small ranch called Acatita, not far from Santa Clara, deep in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Western Mexico. Juan has a unique style of bead work which is a reflection of his own primitive self.
