Roy & Blanche Cavarretta are a husband and wife team who transform gourds into beautiful objets d’art. Roy’s interest in art started at an early age which led to his earning an art degree from Lamar University. A love of pen & ink drawing eventually became an interest in pyrography and gourd art which has garnered many awards in gourd association exhibitions and juried art shows. More recently, Blanche became enamored with gourd art herself and began applying her skills to pyrography on gourds.

Their work is featured in galleries in the Southwest and has been recognized for its excellence by their peers in gourd society exhibitions and art shows, including 1st place and best of show awards. They are also members of the American Gourd Society and the Texas Gourd Society.
