Egg tempera has had less restoration than any other medium in art history. Using fifteenth-century techniques of Cennino d’Andrea Cennini, imagery is worked in tempera comprised of ground mineral pigments mixed with egg yolk and distilled water. Small, layered brush strokes are laid down on gessoed oak panels between gilded shapes of 24-carat gold leaf. Much time passes between each process. Many drawings of thoughts and ideas form stimuli for the paintings, some also become a series of prints, artist’s books, installations and scrolls.
