Author Maria DellosAbout the Author

Maria expressed a love for art as a child. In the 80's, she fell in love with the Southwest. Rubber stamping was new and exciting so like all stampaholics, Maria soon collected hundreds of stamps, ink pads and supplies.

Maria designed and taught for Ben Franklin Crafts in Tucson, Arizona, giving her the chance to share her talents. She is patient, detailed and teaches her secrets in classes and demos.

In 2001, Maria discovered gourds. For many years, gourd artists have used leather dyes as their coloring medium but the color fades. Maria discovered a Premium Ink Dye that does not fade and she fell in love with the quality, affordability and dynamic results.

Maria found that these ink dyes are rich in color, fade-proof, archivally safe and permanent on gourds. The result is a long-lasting, superior process for creating gourd art.

Maria brought the product ideas to the Welburn Gourd Farm and together they launched a product line called GourdMaster Finishes. Maria is an artist for the farm, teaching and demonstrating.

Maria presents live demonstrations on the internet at www.gourd.tv.
