Tejas Folk Art

Tejas Folk Arts is a Chicana handmade craft business that currently sells textile art and other handmade items by Laura E. Zárate. As a victim advocate and a survivor, I have personally experienced the healing power of art. Tejas Folk Arts celebrates and honors the handmade tradition, so 100% of Tejas Folk Arts items are made by me, one stitch, one engraving, one paint stroke, or one pyrography (wood burning) at a time. The inspiration for my work comes from the natural beauty of the flora and fauna of the Texas Hill Country and the folk art traditions of Latin America. My love of cacti, succulents, and agaves in particular – for their beauty, durability, and resilience – makes them my favorite art subjects.
