Pysanky or Ukrainian Easter Eggs are an ancient folk art from the Ukraine. They are created on real eggshells by alternating the application of hot beeswax applied with a stylus or writing pen called a kistka and dipping in dyes of progressively darker shades. The traditional symbols and colours each have different meanings. The last step is to remove the wax with a candle flame to reveal the beautiful design hidden beneath.

I pride myself on my orginal designs which come from my own life experiences and imagination. I find that nature is one of my greatest inspirations and you will often see flowers, birds and other beautiful elements that are found right from my own backyard. I hope that when looking at my eggs you will feel the intensity of the passion and dedication that I put into my work.

My eggs have been sold to private galleries and collections in Canada, the US and Australia. I am an active member of the International Egg Art Guild (IEAG) and I have had photos of my eggs published in “A Showcase of Decorated Eggs” as well as a self-published photo album of some of my earlier works. In 2008 I had the honour of being the Featured Artist in the Egg Artistry Guild of Australia Inc., Quarterly Magazine and I was the Featured Artist in the International Egg Art Guild Magazine's April 2009 issue. Most recently I hosted a Pysanky exhibit and demonstration at the DeCoste Entertainment Centre in Pictou, Nova Scotia. Please note that I work year round and upload new work on a regular basis. My latest series Chiyogami (Yuzen) is based upon the sumptuous Japanese paper art:
