Luis E. Barela

Luis Barela was born in Taos, New Mexico. He is the grandson of the famous New Mexico woodcarver, the late Patrocinio Barela. Luis was the first grandson to pick up the knife and continue the woodcarving tradition of his grandfather. His efforts have led two sons and an additional five family members to begin carving cedar. http://laplaza.org/~santero/artists_Lui
