An egg is not just an egg. "Art is about bending things most people see as a straight line."
I specialize in handcrafting meaningful and heartfelt gifts that mark special occasions, lift the human spirit, and celebrate milestones in your life. As you read "The Symbology of an Egg", I hope you are inspired to look at life through new eyes and recognize that beauty comes in many forms. Allow these hand carved eggshells to encourage and inspire you to see more layers to your strength, beauty, and purpose. Enjoy!
The Symbology of an Egg
The egg symbolizes new life, new beginnings, creation, and wholeness. In some cultures, even luck, wealth, and health. In Jewish tradition, it symbolizes promise. In Christian tradition, resurrection, immortality, and the trinity. To all, it symbolizes birth. So fragile is the egg, yet it maintains the strength to endure being carved into and chipped away at. Had it not, transformation from what first appeared as an ordinary egg with only one purpose would have not seen its layers of beauty, meaning, creation, and depth that you now hold in your hand. Whether you are celebrating a new you, a new life, the birth of a child, or a milestone such as a birthday, wedding or anniversary, I have one wish for you. Welcome the "egg-citement" of new beginnings as you discover the depth of your layers, the beauty of your soul, the strength of your spirit, and a renewal of your purpose.
About the Artist
I never considered myself a "true artist" until I looked back on my life's work to see that I actually brought happiness to those whose lives I touched in a positive way. It was only then that I decided to redefine myself and my life's work.
As one who appreciates various forms of artistic expression, I thrive on creating beauty from "the simple things in life". Helping people to see that art comes in many forms has always thrilled me. I have been very blessed to have created wedding cakes for the past 25 years. As a result of this creative endeavor, I learned to do intricate detail work that most people find tedious and impossible.
It was not until 2019 that I moved away from cakes and expanded upon my interests and talents to a new area. Much like my work with cakes, I once again found a medium that offers an endless tapestry to work upon.
My eggshell art is unique, expressive, and made with pure love and joy! Each piece is hand-carved, hand-dipped, and decorated with great care. I hope that I am able to bring as much joy to those who have one of my eggshells as I had when I created it!
