Pochteca's goal is to provide high-quality, beautiful Mexican Folk Art to American and international customers. We've worked with many master artists including Jose, Isabel, and Zenon Pajarito as well as Juan Jose Medrano and Gerardo Ortega Lopez. Florentino Jimon Bara and others are just a few. We started "Wandering Gypsy", an online company in 2012 to display the amazing art created by artisans from Mexico. To purchase exquisite art from internationally acclaimed artisans, and discover new artists, we travel to Mexico. We have changed the name of our store to POCHTECA to better reflect our artistic and personal lives. The Pochteca (pronounced posh-TAYka in prehispanic Mexico) was a professional Aztec merchant who traveled long distances to provide luxury goods from distant lands for Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. This name change is in keeping with the tradition of the Pochtecas. Our modern Pochteca is us. You will always be able to enjoy the amazing art of Mexico's artists right at your door.
