I want my gourd art to reflect my love
of the earth and my belief that it is vital to stay connected to the earth
and to nature. The whimsical characteristics of gourds fascinate and delight
me. I am enchanted by the imperfect nature of gourds and the fact that
no two are alike. I blend influences from different cultures, including
Southwestern, Native American and Oriental, and utilize as many materials
from nature as possible. I especially enjoy making masks, which I call
“Gourd Spirit Guardians.” They represent Spirit Guides to
help us on our journeys. I strive to enhance and enrich the beauty of
each gourd, to honor and give thanks to Mother Earth for this wonderful
gift that is the gourd.
Kitty’s gourd art can also be seen at: Elinor Oldham Gallery |
