Ursula’s works have been featured nationally and internationally
Ursula transformed Lithuanian folk art into fine art. From the 1960s through the 1990s, she perfected her style and applique technique into a fine art of beautiful and exquisite compositions. In 1989, 1992 and 1994, she had her own dedicated art shows at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture in Chicago, where Ursula held the position of Director of Folk Art for many years and several of her works are on permanent display.
Ursula Astras’s work and exhibitions have been extensively featured in the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Daily News, the Chicago Sun Times, the Folklife Center News (Library of Congress), the Grand Rapids Press and the Lithuanian daily, Draugas.
At the end of her life, she bequeathed some of her art to the Vilkaviskio Krasto Muziejus in Lithuania. Several of these are available as fine art reproductions below.
