Many items are either made of silk or adorned with colorful silk threads making the open markets a riot of colorful threads. This baby is learning young to test the quality of silken strands in this Saturday street market in Kaili, home to many Miao Minority People.
This is a painting created for the show China Minorities-American Perceptions. We often think of China as being on the opposite side of the globe from us. The language, both spoken and written is about as different as you can get. It seems a challenge to move past our preconceived ideas of people with such different ways. And yet, when we stand close and look into the eyes of a child we see that we all have dreams; dreams for a happy life with peace, prosperity and special people to love.
