Winter Cardinal Pair - Painted Gourd Birdhouse
This exquisite hand-painted birdhouse features a serene winter scene with a pair of loving cardinals. Created in collaboration with skilled Peruvian artists, each gourd offers subtle variations in shape, size, and details.. With a 1 ¼” opening, it's ideal for small birds like nuthatches, wrens, or bluebirds, and includes drainage holes. To preserve its natural beauty, we recommend hanging it in a well-ventilated, dry space. A true masterpiece for those who appreciate fine, handcrafted artistry. Price is for one birdhouse.
Percy Rojas, gourd artist
Born in Cochas Chico, Peru, Percy Rojas grew up surrounded by mates, the dried gourds long used in the traditional Peruvian carving art. A fourth-generation artist, he learned by watching his parents and grandparents transform humble natural gourds into objects of cultural storytelling.
Building on his family’s creative roots, Percy brings new life to the gourd through vibrant painting, playful composition, and contemporary design. Working with a small team of women artisans, he creates joyful ornamental gourds filled with birds, flowers, geometric patterns, and scenes inspired by Peru’s diverse landscapes. Each piece celebrates imagination and the enduring beauty of handmade art.
