How my Egg people came about

I am an artist painting is how I earn my living In April 2017, wanted something to change my world, a painting that would make that happen. I wanted something I’d never seen before in the art world. I used to sit for hours late at night thinking about what to paint that would make that change.

 

I used to fry eggs every day for my husband, and one day thought that would make a nice face. And I remembered my school days; when I was a kid at school, we would have to take our lunch box as there were no kitchen or cooking facilities. When the dinner bell rang, we would all sit on the floor to eat our lunch.

 

Almost every day, I had a fried egg on rice, and the other kids would say, ‘Ta fried egg again, you will start looking like a fried egg’. 

 

I painted Egg Lady in a scarf (a lady with a fried egg for a face 

 

When my husband first saw Egg Lady, he said Ta, you’ve gone mad nobody will buy that, later that morning, I put it on sale, and it sold within 10 minutes, and I could have sold it ten times more. My Eggs were born. 

 

I have sent my Egg people & Egg Flowers all over the world and now with my book Egg Island I am sending paintings and drawing of my characters from the book all over the world 

 

I had the idea for the book some years ago and it was swirling round in my head waiting to come out and I’m delighted with the feedback I am getting I’m almost finished the second book what happens next with egg Island it’s people and Captain Thomas and his crew and  Introducing some new exciting characters.
