THE EGGS
Here you will find a selection of Ostrich eggs that I have painted, engraved and carved over the past couple of decades.
All of the eggs were decorated with original designs inspired by my interests in Nature and Art. As such, each egg is unique, original, and being “one-of-a-kind,” is highly collectable.
PAINTED EGGS – I use acrylic paint on my eggs. Then they are sealed with a clear glaze to protect the finish..
CARVED & ENGRAVED EGGS – I use a high speed dentist’s drill to engrave and carve into the egg shells. On some eggs I will cut right through the shell, while on others, I will carve a design into the shell without piercing it.
THE STANDS – I have used a variety of stands, all of which are chosen to complement the design of the egg. These include gold plated stands, carved wood stands, non-precious metal stands, and egg hangers. Recently I have chosen to use simple, clear acrylic ring stands that are preferred by the galleries where I show my work. That way the egg is the center of attention and not the stand!
In 2017, I was interviewed by Andrew Salomone at vice.com. Thanks Andrew!
