GOURDS
​

Picture
I've been involved in crafting and outdoors for as long as I can remember.  My mother instilled a love of "creating" things when I was very little.  To me there is such satisfaction in creating something from a few supplies into something amazing.  I was born in Michigan and moved to Florida in 1997.  I was married to my best friend and miss him tremendously.  

Right after I moved to Florida I found the Florida Gourd Society.  I was the Show Chair for 5 years and was Retreat Chair for 10 years for an event that I started.   I love each and everyone of the gourd people I come in contact with and have made many friends.  

I am a self taught gourd artist and have learned a variety of techniques on gourds by taking classes.  The majority of my gourds are OOAK (One of a Kind) as I do not like to repeat something I have already created.  I would prefer to create something new and different.  Many of my gourd friends laugh at me as I have a very difficult time in creating 6 Christmas Ornament of the same design.  I love to use natural items on my gourds and I would say that 90% of my gourds have some form of a natural product on them in some way.  I do a variety of things from whimsical to serious and hope I have something for you.   

I do a few shows a year in the Spring and Fall and they are listed on the Shows page of my website.  

I can do Custom pieces and would love to create a work of art "just what you want".
