The Art of Ancient Symbolism & Primitive Tupperware.

Arturo Ramirez is a Southwestern Artist who found his niche
painting on Gourds. Growing up on the banks of the Cimmaron River
in Northern New Mexico, Arturo is the epitome of the South West.
Arturo is inspired by ancient symbolism, especially Mesoamerican
symbols. He now focuses his energy on making rattles which
incorporate animal, mineral and plant. The rocks inside his
rattles come from ant hills near sacred sites in the southwest
where he makes an offering for the gifts from inside the earth
that the ants bring to the surface.


Arturo paints and carves gourds that are one of a kind. There are
no two alike.


With the help of his family, Arturo actually starts each creation
with the planting of the gourd seeds in his backyard.
