Bernadette Fox is a Michigan born artist who is passionate about gourd crafting. She began gourd crafting at a young age and quickly became her favorite pastime as well as a small business. She sells her art over the internet as well as locally. She is inspired by her native state, the beauty of nature, the wild outdoors, gardening and farming, and her Catholic Faith. She often refers to gourds as "Mother Nature's pottery", a canvas that has possibilities as far reaching as ones imagination.
