A love of gardening and passion for painting have inspired these projects for the intermediate or beginning painter. The functional birdhouses, and wind chimes and adorable rabbit will Add to the beauty of your garden or to decorate your home. About the designer Aurelia Conway :
Aurelia specialized in acrylic designs for gourds for beginner and
intermediate painters. Her work features birdhouses, Santas, folk art
scenes and other unusual ideas for gourds. Much of her painting was inspired by
her love of gardening and the birds that she enjoyed on her rural Southern Indiana farm, Hummingbird Hill.
For more than 30 years, Aurelia Conway painted, beginning with oils and later converting to acrylics. She painted on a variety of surfaces, but for the last ten years of her life, she painted exclusively on gourds. In 2004, while attending the Society of Decorative Painters annual convention in Phoenix, Arizona, Aurelia succumbed to a sudden heart attack and passed away. Her art and her memory will live on through the lives of the many people who continue to enjoy her love of the art of painting on gourds.
