When award-winning artist Jeanne Gadol, traveled to Southeast rural China last year she hoped to experience minorities in their traditional daily lives amidst fertile farmland and unspoiled rugged scenery. Her expectations were more than met as is evidenced in the beautiful multi-media presentation combining photography and Chinese music that Jeanne and her husband Steve created and will show at the Novermber meeting. After viewing their collaborative production, Jeanne will highlight some of her favorite images and tell stories behind her photographs.
