GOURDS

Constance is a native of Nebraska and has lived in Arizona since 1984. Her love of gourds began 26 years ago after visiting her now partner Reed's gourd garden. It was a true inspiration to her, and it wasn't long before she ventured out on her own. The years went by, and her skills advanced, encouraging her to compete against other gourd artists. She is mostly self-taught, but takes classes when she can.  Constance enjoys teaching classes at the Art Alliance, sharing her passion for gourds. The "Running of the Gourds" festival is a highlight of her year, where she competes successfully against artists from across the country. Some say "she is out of her gourd ". Her company is Mountain Gourd Creations.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Constance has been doing Photography since childhood.  Through Photography, she utilizes the opportunity to share her art with you and continues to capture the world as she sees it through the lens of her camera. Constance resides in Concho, AZ, with her partner, Reed, and their Australian Shepherd, Willow.
