I'm a native of Denver, Colorado and grew up with a constant view of the massive Rocky Mountains (which I took for granted). Right after college I joined the Peace Corps and lived in Huehuetenango, Guatemala where the lofty green Cuchumatanes Mountains looked over me. Now I live in Southern California where the San Gabriel Mountains aren't usually visible (except on clear and crisp winter days), but nonetheless it is an inspiring place to live!
I'm a painter currently using gourds as my canvas. Their odd and quirky organic shapes make me smile and their warmth and visual texture are reminiscent of woodgrain.
I only do a few shows a year and spend the rest of my time making special gourd commissions and teaching Art to jr. high students in Orange County.
Thanks for sharing your lovely gourds and may you have a great time in Casa Grande!
