| Gourd
Art
Gourds are a
hard shelled fruit in the same family as squash, pumpkins
and melons. Gourds have been around for centuries,
used for both utilitarian purposes and creative appeals.
My gourd art incorporates one or more
of following: Carving, pyrography, (wood burning), painting in
oils, watercolors, pencils, acrylics, leather and stamper dyes.
Weaving, beads, and other embellishments are sometimes used.
Please take the time to look at all my
gourd vessels and gourd masks.

Gourd
Masks
My Masks are gourds cut
in half, as I occasionally do with a gourd to hang on
the wall other than a mask. As with my gourd vessels,
each one is a combination of carving and/or pyrography,
and painting in different choices of mediums. Some masks
have turquoise inlay, beads and all my masks are backed
with a suede cloth and ready for hanging. They are all
adorned with different species of feathers from Peacock
to Quail which finish off the Mask with the perfect
touch.

Ceramics
The ceramics I do are all
from greenware pieces that I design, carve and paint.
Each is an original design. Every piece I've entered
into a ceramic show has won a blue ribbon. Some shown on
the Ceramics page.

| Urns
My Urns are made from the
top of a bottle gourd, and also from Kettle and Pear
shape gourds. I've designed three
different Urns to choose from. The design can also be
changed to your specific desires. Colors can also be
changed. No matter what the choice, each will be
completely original, plus the shape of one
Urn is never exactly like another.

Portraits
I love doing portraits of
people and pets. It's what I did when I started my art
career too many years ago to count. Portraits can be
done of yourself, your loved ones and your pets. If you
have any desire in this area please get in touch with me
and we can work out the details.

| Floral
Paintings
I really enjoy the
personality and colors of all the different flowers. I
paint them in almost an abstract way. The oils are done
on a large edged canvas so they can be hung with or
without a frame. I would enjoy talking to you about
doing one for you, or you might choose one of the
florals on the floral page.
