Gourdgeous Gourds

Hand Painted Gourds.

Jan Lawrence became interested in painting gourds several years ago.

Her parents had given her three gourds that were left outside all winter. Jan kept looking at the shape of the gourds and decided to paint something that work with the curves.

The Italian 18th century artist, Amedio Modigliani is Jan Lawrence's favorite artist and she used his nude paintings as an inspiration. And so, the three gourds soon became beautiful nude ladies.

She found that the size and shape of the gourd gives the art a three dimensional perspective.

As time progressed Jan Lawrence found she was attracted and inspired by the Japanese culture and art. Soon her hand painted beautiful nude lady gourds transpired into Geishas.

Turning the hand painted gourds into lamps resulted in the usual creative process. Making a work of art into a useable item.

Each gourd is hand pick by Jan.

The gourds take on personalities. The Artists says " This is the most creative art, so different than painting on flat canvas. This art is three dimensional and has movement and life."
