Don Astras worked with Terese Vekteris, editor of Bridges: Lithuanian-American News Journal to produce a feature article about Ursula Astras, Lady of Wheat, who transformed folk art into fine art.

The article will appear in the November/December 2015 issue of Bridges: Lithuanian-American News Journal on pages 3-4. It includes more artwork, history about Ursula’s journey from Lithuania and her rise to folk artist/fine artist. However, you must be a subscriber to view the article.
