Monika's heritage is a combination of European and Native American.  At the exhibition Monika will present her works about healing and magic, filled with symbolic connections.  The healing power of screaming, for example.  A black dog, which is sacred in many cultures, and is believed to have a connection to the other side.  Of a crow, which native culture sees as symbol of a messenger and a strong spirit.
