About the Artist
Growing up in southern
California, I was always vaguely aware of gourds. It wasn’t
until my curiosity about growing them led me to know and
appreciate them. Not able to find any classes in gourd art, I
searched the internet and attended art and craft shows, and
decided to take my own road in my art. I use the traditional
arts of wood burning and carving and generally start my pieces
with freehand drawing.

Sometimes a concept is whole in my mind
and other times the gourd dictates the steps that I take
with it. Either way, I love working with these incredible
gifts from nature.
I live in New Hampshire with my husband, son and constant
companion Milo the dog.
Art has always held an interest for me and I have also created
in fabric arts, paper — making, polymer clay and fused glass.
As a mixed media artist, I am always trying to see what I can
combine.
