Egg Artist Patty Wiszuk-De Angelo incorporates traditional pysanky symbolism with original designs in her creations. She became involved in egging through a combination of birth, chance, and choice. "Being of Ukrainian descent (my grandparents were born in Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi, Ukraine) pysanky has always been in my life. My mother, a life long portrait artist, taught me the technical skills and my father supplied the tradition of a 4,000 year old art form." For any artistic person, finding the right medium for expression is a journey. Patty’s road lead her from pen & ink and pastel drawings to stained glass designing, and finally to pysanky and egg etching.
