I started carving eggs in January of 2005.  After the
Christmas season, I took a break and began playing with a
simple design, the turtle.  I do a really nice one on a kamani
ornament, so I took that design, put it on an egg and voila!  
It sorta just came together and I was off and running!  I got
so caught up in this new canvas, that I totally put my other
work aside and jumped in feet first!

As I was working away and loving every minute of this, I
happened to be looking thru the newspaper one day and saw
this article about a Biennial Show coming up in Waimea,
themed EGG!  Well, I was thinking that maybe I could come
up with something and enter.  A couple of days later, a
friend down my road called me to ask if I'd seen this article
about a show about eggs.  I told her yes and she said I'd be a
fool not to enter, considering what I had been doing.  I
entered 3 eggs and they all won the Waimea Arts Council,
New Artist Award.  Part of my award included the
scheduling of my very own month-long show in December,
2006, in Waimea at the Firehouse Gallery.  

Then, in October of 2005,  I again entered 2 eggs in Gary
LeMaster's International Egg Carver's contest and took a
respectful 1st in Novice Filigree and a 3rd in Novice Relief.  
By then, the fever had increased ten-fold and was I ever
starting to become truly addicted to this new art. In October
of 2006, I again took 3rd Place Experienced Carver in
Experienced Filigree.  (picture of egg to the left)   Since
then, I have been a featured artist at Koehnen's Interiors
during First Friday of the Month -- November of 2005 and
April of 2006, as well as being featured in Hawaiian
Airlines Magazine -- Hana Hou's April/May issue of 2007.
