Featured Gourd Art:

This stunning piece by Serena Kovalosky is entitled “Earthpod II” and was several months in creation. Serena Kovalosky’s work is inspired by the pristine wilderness of the mountains surrounding her studio.

This particular piece represents a “carrying vessel”, symbolic of the pods in nature that carry seeds for the next generation.Earthpod II is ornately woodburned with organic designs representing earth, seeds and water.

Gold alloy gilding enhances the nobility of the piece’s symbolic function.

Dimensions: 10”(d) x 5½”(h).Asking Price: $600This second piece, entitled, “Ancient Tree Bowl,” was carved entirely by hand and was made to look though it might have been found on the forest floor.

The deep mahogany interior showcases the intricate carving as well as the detailed design work that has been woodburned onto the surface. The bottom half is gilded in a richly antiqued gold alloy, bringing the piece into the contemporary realm.

Dimensions: 7½”(d) x 6”(h), including stand. Asking Price: $700
