Welcome to GourdArt
I would like to take a moment and
welcome you
to the intriguing world of Gourds.
They are a
hard-shell, pumpkin like, vine fruit that dries to a wood like
finish- anything you can do to wood you can do to hard-shell
gourds. They can be carved-sanded- burned-dyed and painted on.
A great deal of
effort can go into the design and I pay meticulous attention
to detail, both with the gourd -its shape, colour and
texture, and with the design. Each piece is unique and they
can take up to 100 hours or more to complete. I am
especially motivated by nature's beauty and fragility and often
my favourite gourds are ones designed around animals.
Each gourd has a life of its own, hand-crafted by Mother
Nature, and enhanced only by my imagination.
It gives me
great pleasure to offer my artwork for viewing.
