Bio
As an avid supporter of the Ukrainian community, I like to refer to myself as “Ukrainian by marriage”. I was introduced to pysanky writing by a dear friend and fell in love with the art form. I have embraced this vibrant culture and am an avid supporter of the Ukrainian community. I have been writing pysanky for over 2 decades and absolutely love the art form.
Technique
Crafted with precision, this 2.5-foot pysanka is molded from a durable, weather-resistant material, ensuring both longevity and resilience. The surface is carefully coated with plaster, then meticulously sanded to achieve a flawless, smooth finish, providing the perfect foundation for intricate decoration.
