This idea first came to me many years ago when two ideas percolated in my mind: first, that many modern artists have a style that can be identified easily and, second, that eggs, being decorated for Easter, could serve as canvases for paintings. In 2011, I created my first set of modern art Easter eggs, posting photos of about almost twenty eggs on Facebook. In that first set, the project quickly expanded from painting to including sculpture, photography, and glass art. After that first year, I had many other ideas, but I never got back to the project until a couple years ago, when I invited my now wife, Liane, to join me. Together, we have made many more. We have plans to make over 100 eggs, but with only so much time each year, some remain for the future. We hope you enjoy our irreverent tribute to modern art.
