A big high point of the tour for lots of people was visiting with expat artist Jean Foss and her husband Chucho at their bright and beautiful home in the village of Huayapam.
Any tour that starts with a beautiful garden and snacks and mezcal at 11 in the morning promises to be a good visit.
Jean's devotion to her work is inspiring and her love for all things Oaxacan shines through in her style which I might describe as a painterly, folk art version of magical realism.
She has a great website which gives you some of idea of the sheer output of her work. I was even more surprised to learn that she describes herself as someone who works very slowly.
