Halia began learning the delicate art of writing pysanky at the age of 3. Over 62 years, the pastime has become her passion.

Intricate patterns are achieved by progressively writing molten beeswax on the egg with a small stylus called “kystka” before the egg is dipped into a series of dyes. Each egg is unique in plan, design and execution with only best wishes put into every drawn line, turning each egg into a special talisman for its owner. 

As a teacher Halia has shared this art form with many students and adults over many decades. Her work has been featured in numerous articles and exhibited in many schools, churches and museums throughout the world.
