Jing Zhou is a student at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. Jing’s work is solely digital photography. Curator Sister Margaret Mear said that Jing almost was not able to show her work because she had a big show somewhere else, but she was able to send what pieces she had left over.

Ming Zhou is a student at the University of Missouri. Ming’s work consists of colorful paintings of Chinese people who are very happy with their new prized possessions.

“This would be the Chinese middle-to upper-class who are able to afford the western luxuries. They’re showing off what she (Ming) says they consider ‘good taste,’ because they can now go to Starbucks and buy American cars and go to America to get a degree,” Mear said.

The next show is the Senior Art Show, which will be featured at the end of March.
