When Julie returned from her first trip to China in 1982, a gallery asked her to have a show about China. Half of her paintings were of the children. For the other half, Julie invented the idea of creating watercolor kaleidoscopes to tell the stories of China. Each kaleidoscope includes the sophistication of ancient China and the primitive of “modern” China. Here are the people doing their daily Tai Chi with the pattern of an old Ming Vase.

In old China, when a baby boy was born, his father collected money from friends and relatives to buy a “hundred lock necklace.” The carp stood for fertility and the bells were to ward off evil spirits.

When A Chinese tomb from 2400BC was excavated, two sets of highly unusual bells were discovered. Julie painted a kaleidoscope about the bells. Due to a fluke change in their travel plans, she actually got to see and hear those bells that had recently been ensconced in a special museum. The full story is one of her favorites in her book, Seeing the World through the Heart of its Bells.
