Dragonfly Art Gallery plans reception today for gourd artist

HARRISVILLE – Dragonfly Art Gallery announces Wendy Werth as its Artist of the Month for July. A reception will be held in her honor today from 1-3 p.m.

Werth has been a dried gourd artist for approximately five years.

“I’m still learning new techniques, but really my imagination is what helps create my designs,” Werth said.

Among her creations are custom pieces such as dog or cat portraits on ornament size or larger gourds.

“Growing up I really enjoyed doing portraits so now I’m doing that on gourds,” she said.

Other favorite subjects are her backyard birds, eagle flags for veterans, modern night lights with gem stones and whimsical giraffes or elephants.

The reception is free and open to the public. Dragonfly Art Gallery is located at 116 E. Main Street in Harrisville. For further information call, 464-7306.

In addition to the reception for Werth, the gallery will host its monthly Art in the Yard on July 14. The event will feature make and take necklace or bracelet projects for all ages.
