San Jose del Cabo is a place of inspiration.
Hemingway and Steinbeck walked these streets decades ago when it was little more than a fishing village.
Today, a whole new generation of artists has settled here, soaking in the beauty and tranquility of this little colonial village on the edge of the Sea of Cortes.
I made it a priority to meet one of those artists, a gentle, warm young man named Ivan Guaderrama.
Even before we moved here I was taken aback by his art.
It began when we flew down to look for a place to live. We wandered the Art District of San Jose del Cabo one day, taking in the beauty created by the assemblage of world-class artists who have opened galleries here.
There's one place that has my wife's favorite piece -- a woman reaching out to a classical guitar, done in soft Earth tones.
But, the gallery that we absolutely fell in love with was Ivan's.
