Lisa Andeerson explores the tradition and the spiritual connection of the pysanky

Lisa Anderson of Bruno brought her artistic talent to the Humboldt and District Gallery on Saturday, April 5 as she demonstrated the art of pysanky. The decorated eggs are a familiar Easter tradition associated with Ukraine but may actually date back even earlier in Persia and the Middle East.
