Pysanky Egg with Four Spring Bunnies

Pysanky Egg with Four Spring Bunnies is Judi Vaillancourt’s radiant new one-of-a-kind interpretation of Easter—an heirloom-quality chalkware sculpture alive with color, symbolism, and hand-drawn detail. Building on the spirit of last year’s The Four Pillars of Easter, this year’s piece surrounds a towering egg with four naturalistic spring bunnies, each individually painted and nestled around the base in a protective circle, lending the work both warmth and quiet reverence. The egg itself bursts with luminous greens, sunlit yellows, soft aquas, and layered black-and-white linework inspired by Judi’s enduring love of the Pysanky tradition, the ancient Ukrainian art of decorating eggs with intricate symbolic patterns that celebrate life, renewal, hope, and the return of spring. Here, that historic influence is reimagined through Judi’s distinctly contemporary hand, blending folk art sensibility with the rhythmic complexity of Zentangle—an intuitive, meditative art form developed by a close personal friend—so that every surface becomes a tapestry of movement, pattern, and story. Whimsical yet deeply meaningful, Pysanky Egg with Four Spring Bunnies is a vivid celebration of Easter’s beauty and renewal, transformed by Judi into a singular work of art.
