I love whimsy, magic, faerie tales and downright silliness. I am a self-taught gourd artist and love to write. My joy of writing was rekindled in 2004 because of my son. When he was three or four he claimed all items colored blue as his. Shortly after that the story of “Blue for Me!” dropped into my head. The bug had bitten and the muse called me forth to write.

The following year I was introduced to Gourd Woman. She fascinated me. The mantra, “I can make Gourdesses! I can make Gourdesses!” drummed through my head. I researched dried gourd art on-line and entered into a delightful and whimsical world.

These two loves, seemingly unrelated, have blended into my gourd art having a story or poem to share.
