Amanda Chappell became interested in the art of pysanky (Ukrainian Egg Decorating) in an effort to learn more about her Ukrainian heritage. After attending a Ukrainian festival in Baltimore several years ago, she became determined to teach herself this art of egg decorating. She was drawn to the traditional geometric designs for their intricacy and enjoys the process as much as the end result. Mandy holds a B.F.A. from Frostburg State University with a concentration in photography.
