About Egg Art

Decorating eggs is an ancient art form dating far back into past centuries, and is still practiced today by folk artists around the world.

It is believed to have begun as a pagan rite, celebrating rebirth and the onset of spring.

Most widely known are the Ukrainian or Polish decorated eggs known as pysanky or pisanki.  The colors and symbols on these beautiful works of art each have a special meaning.

The Art Of The Egg has developed far beyond the traditional form, and beautiful original works are created by artists all over the planet.

I thank these inspiring artists who have come before me,  and encourage the artists who may follow.

Nan.
