| Introduction | Over the years, I have tried drawing, painting, screen printing and etching, but nothing excites me as much as creating art with gourds. I affirmed my love of gourd crafting in 2003 and have been producing gourd creations ever since. My primary goal in creating gourd art is to capture the essence of the medium and transform it into elegant works of art. Additionally, I am challenged to create works that go beyond the traditional confines of what gourd art is. I designed figurative pieces and vessels initially. In 2006, I started working on a line of distinctive gourd jewelry after being captivated by the book, “1000 Rings: Inspiring Adornments for the Hand.” |
