East meets West tonight in Edmonds

Artists Aleksandr Kargopoltseva and Chris Hopkins will start the evening with a slideshow and discussion, followed by a gallery show featuring their paintings and illustrations. The two artists will focus on the cultural heritage and life experiences reflected in their work.

Correction
Wini Mardesich was pictured in a photo on Page A1 Wednesday that accompanied a story on Page A14 about Fisherman’s Packing Corp., where she worked as a teenager in the late 1920s. She was misidentified in the Page A1 photo caption. A related story on Page A1 included an interview with Winnie Martinis and her conversation with a fisherman who survived the sinking of a fishing boat in 1945.
