about me

My work as an artist has been collected by The Victoria & Albert Museum among others. In pursuit of my work, it seemed logical to go to China in search of my Sino-Portuguese roots -- the inspiration for my book.

Eye of an Artist

Yolanda Christian

Jolenta goes in search of her roots to Portuguese Macau.


The Macanese people are dwindling in number and Jolenta's family will not talk about the past. Hankering after her ancestry, she visits feisty 89 year old Great Aunty Cheeki in Los Angeles. Thankfully the old lady is willing to talk.
...............................................................................................

“After the end of Portuguese Macau, all the memories start fading, and each time an old person dies is a moment of no return. That's why your interpretation is so valid and useful.” Dr. Jorge Forjaz, author of 'Familias Macaenses'

The FIRST THREE PAGES can be found under Comments.

The first three pages of Chapter 1 after the Prologue: 1 Peckham IT WAS JUNE 1982, AND PECKHAM HIGH STREET WAS a huddle of shops topped with peppermint green canopies held down by heavy sunshine. It reminded Jolenta of the painting Sunday Morning by Edward Hopper: a mix of harmony and discord.... view book
