Tree of Life Rhea

Welcome to My Website!  

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:
