Sunny Side Up Eggs

Piece description from the artist

Cooking the perfect fried egg has always been elusive for me—the yolks are still cold or they have overcooked and have an opaque white film across their yellow orange orbs. These two sunny side up eggs though, cooked in butter in a well seasoned cast iron skillet, were fried to perfection. The yolks retained their glorious golden color while the whites were soft and pillowy with slightly butter fried edges. All that is needed is a sprinkling of freshly ground pepper and a kiss of sea salt.

About Kristine Kainer

Georgetown, TX

Kristine Kainer grew up in a military family and spent her formative years moving to new and diverse locations along the Eastern Seaboard. She graduated from The College of William and Mary with a degree in Art History and high hopes. Unfortunately, job opportunities did not meet her creative goals. After several uninspiring jobs, she earned her Master's degree from George Mason University to pursue a career teaching mathematics. It was during this time that she developed a passion for food (especially shellfish) and began to admire the rustic charm and simplicity of life from a bygone era.

In 2003, Kristine, her husband, and their young daughter moved to rural Texas. There they experienced a slower pace of life while living on a small, weathered, 1920s family farm. During this time, Kristine's creative spark was reignited in the form of painting.

Self-taught, Kristine specializes in oils. Her subject matter focuses on her long-time loves: food, seashells, vintage everyday items, and the occasional seascape. Her works are found in both public and private collections nationally and internationally. She and her family currently reside in Georgetown (near Austin) and Schulenburg where they enjoy the urban, suburban, and rural lifestyles of Texas—with, of course, the occasional jaunt to the seaside.
