WELCOME TO GHOSTOWL ARTS
I doodled constantly when I was in high school. My teachers didn't buy the idea that it helped me concentrate, but I still say it did!
Even when busy being a grown-up, I was always dabbling in something creative, whether it was painting, sketching, silversmithing or carving. I have also always been a student of Native American culture because of my grandmother's Cherokee history.
After being introduced to the beautiful sounds of the Native American flute by Robert Tree Cody, I began making Native-American style wooden flutes, which expanded into Native-American style drums and rattles.
Along the way, my wife asked me to make some small woodburned gourd ornaments for the Christmas tree. Those little gourds seemed to bring together all of the doodling, carving and such that I had been doing for years.
I still doodle if forced to sit quietly, and I still like to experiment with other mediums, but these days gourds are the center of my creative life.
My wife thinks it just might be because the artwork on the gourds involves so many of the things we guys love, fire, sharp objects, and a lot of mess!
Thanks for stopping by, let me know if you have any questions, I'll be glad to help
