Yadira Camacho Villa is a native of Agua Prieta but was drawn away to Hermosillo for law school and her profession. Stepping away from work for family, and then pandemic, gave her time to return to her love of art, especially oil painting. She studied with Maestro Mario Leyva and progressed to earning acclaim at several exhibitions. COVID quarantine redirected her to decorative painting of wide-brimmed hats. It is a good creative outlet and has grown into a successful business.
