Carol Canby
(530) 258-7627

Carol Ann is primarily a self-taught artist. She has worked in pen & ink, creating brochures, T-shirt designs, and a cancellation stamp for the U. S. Postal Service. Until recently, she has best been known for her bright and expressive watercolors.
 
About five years ago, Carol discovered gourds after attending a gourd festival in Casa Grande, Arizona. She was hooked. “Gourding is a labor of love!” Carol said. The outside of the gourd must first be soaked and scrubbed clean. A mask must be worn while cleaning the inside of the gourd. Then comes scraping, sanding, and smoothing. A design is drawn on the outside, burned into the gourd, then painted with watercolors, colored pencils or acrylics. The inside must also be painted. The gourd is then finished with shoe polish or spray varnish.
 
Carol’s recent work is mostly functional art. Made from gourds, her basket and bowls feature imagery inspired by traditional Native American designs as well as florals and geometric designs.
