Introductions

Hi, my name is Nicholas Chase. I am the grandson of Merry Thaden and the salesman of her artwork. My grandmother is an extremely skilled artist. She is a professional photographer and an very skilled gourd artist. Gourd art is an ancient, unique, and collectible form of art. It has practical and decorational purposes. In the hands of an able artist, a gourd can become a beautiful treasure, perfect to show off as a table centerpiece, home decor, or to add to your fine art collection. All of her gourds can be found on craigslist and soon will be found on this blog along with her photography. Thank you.
