WELCOME
TO LAS MANOS MÁGICAS!
In Houston,
Texas since 1971, we have assembled an eclectic array of folk art, fine craft
(including handcrafted jewelry), and fine art. We hunt down those exceptionally
well-designed and executed objects that you would rarely encounter in your shopping
adventures.
Our area of expertise is Mexican folk art and such pieces comprise
about 70% of our total inventory. Ours is one of the richest collections of work
by Mexican artists to be found anywhere in the United States. We work with recognized
artisans from all over Mexico and have developed personal relationships; thus
we are able to choose amongst their best pieces. We are also constantly on the
lookout for outstanding young artists who will be the maestros of the next generation.
We also sell offer ethnic art from
other parts of the world, including fine textiles, and beautiful creations from
India, Russia, Peru, China, and Indonesia.
In
addition, Las Manos Mágicas represents several regional and local artists,
including self-taught and outsider artists as well as those with scholarly training.
They are remarkably creative, exhibit high mastery of their media, and their work
fits well alongside ethnic folk art. This group marches to a slightly different
drummer than the rest of the contemporary art world.
For your personal adornment,
we carry an outstanding selection of finely handcrafted jewelry by gifted international
artists. And we exclusively offer the chic beaded necklaces of gallery owner Madeleine
Crozat-Williams.
Please note that
we are proud to practice fair trade and pay our artists fair prices for their
work. When you purchase a work of art from us, you are not only bringing home
a piece of beauty but you are also contributing to the survival of artists and
art forms throughout the world.
We
will be happy to provide you with further information about our merchandise.
We all thank you for your patronage! ENJOY!!
