Revolutionary
Meet Monika Edgar, a unique piece of the wonderful puzzle that is Historic Downtown Louisville. Monika grew up in Soviet era Lithuania, which must influence her amazing work. Come see Monika at the March 2 First Friday Art Walk at Creative Framing and Art Gallery. The beautiful photo was taken by another talented Louisville artist, Dona Laurita.
