Crafting Exquisite Art and Sculpture Designs
At Morning Dew Gourds, I transform nature’s canvas into breathtaking works of art. My handcrafted gourd sculptures are a testament to the beauty of organic forms, blending artistry, craftsmanship, and the natural world into unique, collectible pieces.
My Expertise in Gourd Craftsmanship
Each sculpture begins as a simple gourd—grown, dried, and carefully selected for its shape and character. Through meticulous carving, painting, and embellishment, I breathe new life into these natural vessels, turning them into striking works of art that resonate with collectors and art lovers alike.
The Inspiration Behind My Art
My designs draw inspiration from the textures, colors, and patterns found in nature, as well as cultural influences from around the world. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, celebrating the harmony between organic materials and artistic vision.

I work with gourds which are renewable each year. I crush turquoise, lapis and malachite for my inlay. Gourds need 120–130 days without frost to mature. As the gourd plant matures, the leaves get very large. As the plants get larger the leaves will keep the moisture under the leaves. Hard shelled gourds have white flowers that only open in late evening or night. They are pollinated by cucumber beetles or moths.The growing season is important.
