Welcome to Chrivia Studios!
After a life long love affair with arts and crafts I have recently settled down to working with what some call nature's canvas: The Gourd!
I first got interested in gourds after seeing and purchasing a gourd from artist that displays her work at the Coronado Art in the Park every Sunday. I started looking up gourds on the internet and found out that there was a gourd farm less than an hour away from San Diego. It took me a full year to get out there, but boy was it worth it!
I joined the Fallbrook Gourd Patch in 2007. They are a great group that has limitless talent and friendship to offer.
I hope you enjoy my pieces even half as much as I enjoy creating them.
