WE WILL BE BRINGING YOU AN ON-LINE EXHIBITION OF WORKS BY ARTISTS AND ARTISANS AT ADLANDPRO

Martha is a talented artist who uses paints gourds  creating fascinating and unique pieces. Her work
can be purchased from her website.
Martha has chosen to bring us some Christmas
spirit with her exhibition.


 





About the artist
Gourds are most often thought of as being used
for crafts, especially birdhouses, and I agree
that is commonly what they are used for. But
many accomplished artists are enjoying them
for a new way to express their art besides on
a flat canvas.

Plenty of my gourd creations are of the craft
variety but I do try to throw in some with
artwork on occasion. Some of my work could be
considered sculpture because I join gourds
and gourd pieces together. Yes, they are
cutesy, (is that a word?), but nonetheless
are sculpture.

Everything I’ve learned has been self taught
from books and magazines, tips from other
gourd artists and crafters, or something that
just popped into my head to try and do.

Working with gourds can be a long journey
if you want to grow your own. It can take a
year or longer from the time they are planted
until the time you can work on them. Then
there is plenty of preparation work to be
done before the creative work can start.

My website http://marthasgourds.co has
information on what it takes to work with
gourds as well as my crafted gourds and I
would like to invite you there to see for
yourself.

Hello ArtExhibition Team

Thank you for the invitation Rose. A very nice seasonal exhexhibition followed by a slide exposure makes this place extra ordinary and special. Thank you for introducing us Martha and her Work. Congratulations, a very good TeamWork

Martha, you deserve this honour. I have heared much about you from many friends. I had not the opportunity to come learn you as closer friend. One of my best class mates at school in Sweden had same family name as yours, Annika Bloom.  In the future  I will try to be more active in your forums.

CONGRATULATIONS MARTHA
Enjoy your week


Kindly regards
Georgios

Hi Martha,

Your work is incredible, and I find it absolutely FASCINATING that you were self taught through magazines, etc.   That is an incredible testimonial that "knowledge is power" when flowing on the right path............you have VISION, and that vision created an extension of YOU........the artist!

Keep the flow of vision going......you are a very talented lady.

Thanks for sharing,  Jill
