Artist Katherine Alexander is a second-generation Polish immigrant who creates intricate traditional pysanky eggs. She painstakingly draws designs onto the eggs using melted wax and then immerses them in dye, allowing the exposed parts of the eggs to be colored.
For each new color, she must apply more wax to the eggs and then dip them in a new dye. After the eggs dry, Katherine uses a heat gun to melt the wax, revealing the final designs. Then she carefully pokes a hole in the eggs to release their contents, leaving them hollow.
