Q: How large is your collection of Mexican folk art objects?
Part of the collection
A: I haven’t counted them, but my guess is 200 pieces of various sizes. This includes the Guatemalan figures. I went to Guatemala in 2009 and 2010. Since I divide my time between a house in Alexandria, VA, an apartment in Manhattan, and a studio in Chelsea, part of my folk art collection is in each of these places.

how do you decide which pieces to leave where, or do you move them around depending on what you are working on?
Cathy, more like the latter. It’s always fun hearing people’s comments when I walk around with them under my arm. Even in NYC they are conversation starters!
