Carolyn Carr is not only an established painter collected by museums and a fashion designer featured in Vogue she is also the Great Great Granddaughter of Julian Carr, whose portrait is in any edition of the book The Soong Dynasty. “Granddaddy raised Charlie Soong,” she says for which Carolyn’s Father and Grandfather are named, thus making this showing for her in Hong Kong extra special as it will be the first time she will trace her family’s steps in China.
