Ostrich Egg Art


Original pen & ink drawings on real ostrich eggs!

Ann has been drawing animals on ostrich eggs for over 20 years. At anywhere from 6 to 12 eggs per year, that adds up to over 200 eggs! She got involved
in this unique craft when she worked at the Sacramento Zoo. Each year, Zoo
staff commission Ann's illustrated ostrich eggs to be used as prizes at events
and gifts for donors and staff.

Ann accepts private commissions for her ostrich egg art. If you are interested in ordering your own one-of-a-kind ostrich egg, please contact Ann for more information. Prices start at $100. Scroll down to see plenty of samples.

One of Ann's eggs is now in actress Betty White's collection!
Staff at the Sacramento Zoo commissioned a giraffe egg as a gift to Betty for her participation in a fund-raiser for the new giraffe barn.
