< Back Karin Whiting EAI Representative for New Zealand I have been an egg artist for around 20 plus years now. I enjoy coming up with my own designs and bringing ideas in my head to life through my eggs. I love helping people with ideas and things I have found invaluable along the way. I have a group in Hastings, New Zealand !

< Back Raquel Utrera EAI Representative for Argentina Since approximately 2013, I have begun to study and know this art about natural eggshells, knowing its origin and the various techniques, in addition to its origins in the world; I have my atelier in the city of Cordoba, province of Cordoba in Argentina. I managed to train in some decoration and cutting techniques with people who had already been working in this technique, but I am largely self-taught, I make many of my own designs, although I am inspired by the precision, details and delicacy of the works of the goldsmith Karl Fabergé. I use quail, chicken, goose, rhea, emu and ostrich shells in my works with a careful selection, seeking to adapt the design to the texture, shape and size of the shell. I always try to show the perfection of a shell, its capacity to house a life and the immensity of the unknown in its transformation. I have held several exhibitions, demonstrations, didactic talks and workshops for children in various cities of my country in order to show and disseminate this special art.

< Back Beth McPherson EAI Representative for New Zealand I’m Beth McPherson from Christchurch New Zealand. I have been creating and decorating eggs since 2008 after joining the Christchurch Egg Artistry Club. I especially love working with chicken and smaller eggs like quail and finch eggs. My other interest is making my own face and body products and I’m currently studying Organic Skincare Formulations with the view to developing it further in the future I am married with three children and 5 lovely grandchildren. I look forward to being able to help EAI and egg artists where I can.

< Back Florin Bejinari EAI Representative for Romania Florin and Maricica Bejinari – Art and faith that give life to icons and painted eggs From Rădăuți, the heart of Bucovina where tradition intertwines with the soul of the people, Florin Bejinari and his wife, Maricica, have transformed painting into a true-life mission. For over two decades, the two have been creating together, with painstaking and patience, works that carry within them not only the beauty of art, but also the faith, emotion and story of the place they come from. Florin Bejinari, born on January 21, 1961, in Rădăuți, is an icon painter, but his talent is not limited to icons. Over time, he has also explored painting on goose and ostrich eggs, naive painting, portraits and decorative compositions with the same passion. “I paint almost anything,” says the artist, but each work has a common thread: the desire to convey emotion and bring beauty into people’s lives. His technique combines Byzantine tradition with elements of personal innovation. In addition to icons on wood, he managed to extend Byzantine painting onto the fragile eggshell, creating true artistic jewels. Many of his works are adorned with gold leaf, which gives them a special light and a delicacy that captivates the eye. In his hands, a simple egg turns into a window to the sacred and to the Bucovina tradition of painting. Over the years, Florin and Maricica have taken this art to international stages. Their exhibitions have been hosted in Paris (2002), Venice (2007), Augsburg (2009, at the invitation of the Suceava County Council), the European Parliament in Brussels (2010), but also in numerous fairs and exhibitions in Germany, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Portugal and Italy. Their work was rewarded with important awards, including the Grand Prix at the Annual Salon of Amateur Plastic Artists in Suceava (2016) and the Third Prize at SIAN, Bucharest (2017). But beyond diplomas and trophies, their greatest joy is meeting people. At the folk crafts fairs in the country, Florin and Maricica are always close to the public, telling stories, sharing the secrets of the craft and creating friendships with other artists. “Every egg, every icon, every portrait has a soul. When I paint, I don’t just make an object, I give life to a story,” the artist confesses. Through their works, the Bejinaris have managed to carry forward the tradition of their native place and make it known throughout the world. They don’t just keep an art alive, but reinvent it, putting a dash of faith and a dash of the beauty of Bucovina into each creation.

Gold Award < Back Leslie Lisdell M.D., USA September 21, 2024 Gold Award CATEGORY: Artist's Choice PATHWAY: Accelerated TYPE OF EGGS: Ostrich, multiple “Spring is Here” is an original design loosely based on the fairytale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” and my farm in the Spring. The lighted egg opens in two places. When the roof is lifted via the weathervane the upper bedroom floor is revealed. When the midsection is opened by pulling the chimney backwards the entire upper portion lifts up to reveal the lower kitchen level. Literally everything was made by hand except the following items: doorknob, bell, hinges, small basket, “trout” weathervane(repainted) and butterflies(repainted). This egg took almost a year to make since all the components were handmade from scratch. Previous Next

Bronze Award < Back Danielle Delorme August 3, 2026 Bronze Award CATEGORY: Pysanky Diaspora PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: Goose Techniques: - Wax-resist method using traditional and electric kistka application - Light-to-dark dye application This pysanka was inspired by my experience of growing up in Northern Alberta, Canada. Alberta is colloquially called ‘Big Sky Country.’ The sky features heavily in the design: The backgrounds within the ribbon, the backgrounds of the main scenes on the front and back, and the skyline above the trees. Front: - The stag is a regionally native animal that is commonly encountered. - Wheat represents farming, which is a primary industry in the region. Back: - The Northern Lights are a regionally common phenomenon. Ribbon: - Vertical band division with ribbon composed of rhombs/squares and triangles. - Snowflakes on dark blue background represent the winter experience, when snow is plentiful and daylight hours are limited. - Aspen and spruce are two of the most abundant tree species in the boreal forest: -- Aspen leaves on light blue background encompass the experience of autumn, when the leaves create seas of yellow across the region. -- While spruce are evergreen so look much the same year-round, in this instance they represent summer with a deep green colour. - While the Wild Rose is technically a summer flower, here it represents spring by virtue of being floral. The bright green background further exemplifies spring as the colour of fresh new growth. The Wild Rose is also the provincial flower of Alberta. Previous Next
