Original artwork description:

I 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.

It was the Egg lady wearing a scarf ( 28 April 2017) that made 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 boxes 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.

Now Ta’s Eggs are hanging on walls all over the world.
