Specializing in hand painted gourds

Welcome to my webpage.  I have been painting and decorating gourds for many years.  I am a self taught artist and have found that the gourd is my favorite canvas.   I paint all my gourds in acrylics and seal the painted gourds with a durable sealer to preserve these gourds for  many years to come. I grow most all the gourds that I paint.  The following photos are some of my past works.  I am a member of the American  Gourd Society and currently serve on the board of directors for the Tennessee Volunteer Gourd Society.  If you are interested in becoming involve in these organizations, check out the websites below.  Please feel free to email with if you need assistance with your gourds projects.
