Visit Janice Kimball Art and Weaving Studios in Ajijic, Mexico. These are live - work spaces for artist Janice Kimball and her adopted son, weaving Maestro Francisco Urzua. They are colorist's who share a passion for the magic that is Mexico.
Their weavings, tapestries, and Janice’s photographic surreal constructions capture the energy, spirit, imagination, and sophistication inherent in the Pre-Hispanic Mexican cultures.
Francisco weaves the one of kind pieces on ancient Spanish Colonial looms, like the ones brought here by the conquistadors in the holds of their ships, just as his father and grandfather did before him. The incredible results are both modern and primitive.
Upon entering the gallery you will see a Spanish colonial 15th century Mesquite loom. Leaving the entrance, you will pass by Max Bird, The Parrot that is their “publicity director” in a tiny garden. You will then enter Francisco’s weaving studio with another larger antique loom, then their main gallery, which houses a display featuring all of their work. Another workroom/gallery with some of Janice's favorite pieces is upstairs where they live, which they often open up to visitors. When you are in Ajijic do not miss the opportunity to visit these artists and watch them at work. Their gallery and studios house a vast amount of art to soften and enhance your walls and make your home quieter in a totally original and unique way. Francisco will be waiting to show you around every Friday, and Janice would be happy to show you their galleries and studio by appointment. 232 Carretera Poiniente (Ajijic Jocotepec Highway) hard of hearing-let ring

When you visit you will also be able to see Janice’s paintings done in oil, acrylic and pastel, as well as her photography. Their “compound” was designed and built by Janice who considers the architecture of their living space/studio 'environmental art'. It is worth the trip to their space just to see it.
