CLAUDIA PFLUEGER

Claudia Pflueger is an accomplished Fine Artist, schooled at the American Academy of Art in Chicago in graphic, and fine art.

“My introduction to gourds as an art form was merely by chance; but having said that, I found them to be the perfect canvas, each unique, with their flowing lines, and subtle curves; clearly, Natures’ perfect sculpture.”

Each of Claudia’s gourds are individually handcrafted by the artist, using a combination of colored dyes and gilding pastes; most of the images are created using pyrography (wood burning technique); while others are ornately carved; or embellished with hand crafted needle coiling. Finally, each are finished, by adorning them in materials such as turquoise, carved jade, or other semiprecious stones. Each piece is truly a work of art, and no two pieces are exactly alike.
