It has been such a blessing to work with twenty people of varied artistic backgrounds to create “Breaking Free'“. An exhibit that takes the meditative art of pysanky to a new level. Through the month of January we wrote pysanky, broke pysanky and transformed pysanky into amazing mixed media art. During February 2026, these are on display at Artful Journey Gallery / 4701 N University / Peoria, IL. From March 2nd through April 12th the exhibit was on display at Five Points / 360 N Wilmor Rd / Washington, IL.

I’ve already been asked if I plan to do this again - the answer is YES! Probably sometime in early 2027.
