My parents have a painting signed by Mario Unzueta that they got in the late 1950s while they were in Bolivia. They would like to know more about the painter. Where can I find more information?

A friend of mine's Uncle passed away and they have two paintings by Heidi Landaeta. I was hoping you could share more information about her. We have three articles about her, but they are in Spanish, so difficult to understand all of it. Any information would be very helpful. Thanks

Cathy...Heidi Landaeta was my mom. She passed away in 1993. Although she was of German descent, most all of her paitings were related to Bolivia, to the countryside, the mountains and everyday Bolivian life. She loved Bolivia. I would be happy to give you more information information about her. I would love to know which of her paitings you have.
