SCROLLS FROM CHINA
The exquisite Chinese scrolls featured in our Great River marketing and website banner, were purchased through Scrolls from China, an organization which supports gifted child artists living in an orphanage near Chongqing. The “Li River” scroll featured in the banner above was painted by 15-year-old Xiao Fan, a talented artist with a wonderful knowledge of balance and landscapes.
