Brief "egging resume" for Karen:

I have been writing eggs for over 35 years, and over the last 10 years have taught many different styles at egg retreats in Canada and the USA. I also teach classes locally, and have now been asked to teach a credit course in Pysanky for the college where I work as Director of Student Services and sessional professor of Psychology. I write pysanky in my “spare time”, and love the peacefulness and prayerfulness of this art! I have 4 wonderful grown children and 4 adorable grandchildren.
