The 43rd Annual First Lady's Commemorative Egg. Happy Easter
The 43rd Annual First Lady's Commemorative Egg is an extra-large chicken egg that has been hollowed and intricately decorated. The design reflects First Lady Melania Trump's "Be Best" initiative and pulls inspiration from the children of America's egg farmers. The 2020 First Lady's Commemorative Egg is painted in royal blue and accented with gold leaf, featuring a carved tree to honor the "Be Best" initiative. The tree signifies children planting the seeds of personal growth, and three hearts within the foliage represent the values of the "Be Best" campaign – kindness, community and positivity. All three words also appear in gold-leaf on the back of the egg.
Three artists helped bring this year's egg to life: Quentin Oliver of Quiet Light Communications, located in Rockford, Ill., created the design; award-winning Salt Lake City egg artist Brian Baity carved and painted the egg; and Laura J. Schiller, out of her art studio in Westminster, Colo., created the polymer clay book that represents the endless potential of America's children.
