Zinnia Folk Arts, founded in 2008, is a small Mexican folk art shop
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota that also has a very well stocked
online store. Anne fell in love with Mexico and
Mexican folk art in high school when she studied Spanish for the summer
in Toluca, Mexico. On that first trip, Anne returned to the United
States with a tree of life from Puebla, several baskets, silver jewelry
from Taxco and what was to become a life long love for all things
Mexican. As a collector of Mexican folk art for over 25 years,
researching and seeking the finest folk artists and Mexican crafts of a
variety of styles in the many small towns of Mexico, Anne has developed
an eye for well-made traditional and unusual contemporary Mexican
crafts. Anne has a MA in Arts Administration and was a Research
Assistant at the Science Museum of Minnesota focusing on the Donald
& Dorothy Cordry collection of Mexican Folk Art. To bring you the
variety & quality of folk art for which we are known, she visits
different regions of the country and purchases directly from artisans,
visiting them in their homes or studios all over Mexico. She also shops
in local mercados and a few Mexico-based folk art dealers to bring you
interesting and unique pieces.
My personal favorite item is the Carved and Painted black bull, he would look so great in my living room , I also have a little obsession growing with the Milagro Hearts! Anne also has a great selection of Mexican nativity scenes that are perfect for
Christmas...
