Paco G aka Francisco Garcia In 1949, Paco G was born in Saltillo, Coahuila to a mother, who was both a portrait painter and a student of artist Ruben Herrera. Furthering his talents, Paco's father was a wood sculptor. The Coahuila district has a long tradition of fine art, dating back to Pre-Colombian times. Although the local museum was named for Herrera, its canvasses have not been seen outside the former colonial city because the government will not allow them to be moved. Paco G's work, however, is shown internationally and is on exhibit in Rosarito and displayed in cultural centers throughout Mexico. Additionally, his paintings are regularly shown at California galleries in La Jolla and Laguna Beach. Among his most noted work is the Tree of Life mural on permanent view at the Contreras Clinic in Playas de Tijuana and other murals in private homes in the city.
