We are honored to present Prescott, Arizona artist, Bill Colligen, as this month’s featured artist.
|
Through trial, error and much experimentation, Bill brings to our gallery a truly magnificent – and different -- body of work. Though often mistaken as pottery, in actuality, Bill’s medium is the gourd.
|
|
|
He begins with careful drying,
followed by meticulous carving.
|
Bill then finishes utilizing several traditional bronzing techniques that he developed specifically for his gourds.

The result is “east meets west” in terms of balance, beauty and tranquility.

We welcome you to visit the gallery to see Bill’s work in person.
