Meredith Mullins Photography

Meredith Mullins is an internationally exhibited photographer from Pacific Grove, California. With a background in television, film, and communications, Ms. Mullins has been a fine art photographer for 33 years. Her work is represented in several publications and is in private collections throughout North America and Europe.

An explorer by nature, she is most well known for her work from her travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa. She believes in digging beneath the surface to find the real character of a place and its people.

From Meredith:

I love the rhythms, humor, and spirited characters of a place…It’s all about connection. I introduce myself with my camera, but the resulting relationships last over time.

Meredith has recently published a book of photographs and stories about Paris: In A Paris Moment.

Samples of Reviews:

“Far more intriguing than merely an art book or travel book, this collection of short essays, duotone photographs, and travel notes captures in images and words the essence of the world’s most romantic city.” Metro LA

"This is a wonderful book which seeks not the tourist sites, but those places and faces which illuminate the soul of this great city."Linda Walonen, Bay Books, San Ramon, California

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA

This Sunday 15 October At 18h30


Our Guest of Honor:

Jonathan Matsoukis And The American Indian Medicine Wheel

From Jonathan:

I first learned about the American Indian Medecine Wheel about 8 years ago and connected with it right away. It was and still is used by American Indians as a tool and guide to better understand the world and resolve personal or societal issues. Not many people know that the American Political System is actually inspired by the Medecine Wheel. What attracted me to this particular system was its sophistication and yet practical nature. It is both elegant in its design concept and rich in its content. I continue to find it a source of insight and inspiration.
Other than simply being a topic of interest, I intend to share some practical tools from this system that anyone can take home and try on. Please join us in this exploration of a system that so beautifully maps the journey of life.

I was born and raised in Paris and have lived between the US and France all of my life. I now reside in San Francisco, California which I see as a mother ship for new ideas and view points from around the world.

ON RUE TATIN: About French Cuisine. A New French Life. Susan Loomis. Chef. Author. Paris Soirees Dinner Sunday 24 September At 18h30

(This Sunday We Are In The Marais! See Address Below)

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA

This Sunday 24 September At 18h30

Our Guest of Honor:
Susan Herrmann Loomis, Chef and Author
On Rue Tatin

Susan Loomis arrived in Paris twenty years ago with little more than a student loan and the contents of a suitcase to sustain her. But what began then as an apprenticeship at La Varenne École de Cuisine evolved into a lifelong immersion in French cuisine and culture, culminating in permanent residency in 1994.

On Rue Tatin chronicles her journey to an ancient little street in Louviers, one of Normandy’s most picturesque towns. With lyrical prose and wry candor, Loomis recalls the miraculous restoration that she and her husband performed on the dilapidated convent they chose for their new residence. As its ochre and azure floor tiles emerged, challenges outside the dwelling mounted. From squatters to a surly priest next door, along with a close-knit community wary of outsiders, Loomis tackled the social challenges head-on, through persistent dialogue–and baking.

About On Rue Tatin:On Rue Tatin includes delicious recipes that evoke the essence of this region, such as Apple and Thyme Tart, Duck Breast with Cider, and Braised Chicken in White Wine and Mustard. Transporting readers to a world where tradition is cherished, On Rue Tatin provides a touching glimpse of the camaraderie, exquisite food, and simple pleasures of daily life in a truly glorious corner of Normandy.

About Susan:Susan Herrmann Loomis is the author of five previous books, including Farmhouse Cookbookand The Great American Seafood Cookbook. A regular contributor to publications such as the New York Times and Gourmet, she lives with her husband and their two children in Louviers, France, where she owns and operates On Rue Tatin, a cooking school.

Chicago Jazz Vocalist Claudia Hommel Sings from Her New Jazz Faure Project.Paris Soiree Sunday 10 Sept At 18h30

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIAThis Sunday 10 September At 18h30
Our Guests of Honor:
Claudia Hommel Paris-born singer-actor Claudia Hommel returns from Chicago to our salon to introduce her latest project, the Jazz Faure Project.And what is the recipe for this cabaret confection of French impressionism and American jazz?
Take the art songs Gabriel Faure created for his friends to sing at salons of the 1880s and 1890s, bring in a second singer to enrich the dialogue, add a jazz combo of piano, bass, drums and saxophone, clarinet or flute, introduce the 20th century rhythms of swing, bossa nova, jazz waltz and voila! a 21st century way to celebrate these wonderful songs.Claudia and the Jazz Fauré Ensemble are in the midst of recording the first volume of their project, so she'll present a short video from a recent performance at the Green Lake Festival of Music (Wisconsin) and CD excerpts from the forthcoming album. You may even want to leave the evening sporting a Jazz Fauré Renoir t-shirt or tote bag to show your support.
Visit www.jazzfaure.com for a preview.
About Claudia:Claudia Hommel is a singer and actor specializing in French chansons and mélodies, in cabaret and concert, for schools, theatres, clubs, museums, and private events. At our salon, we may entice her to sing a few Parisian songs unaccompanied (or bring an acquaintance to play guitar or accordion for the occasion).Claudia also organizes CABARET INTOURLUDES and serves as guide for intimate groups from the States. Eight fans and friends are joining her this week and Claudia welcomes salon participants to join the itinerary around town. (In fact, she has room for one more person for an exclusive concert-croisière with singer Eric Vincent, Saturday evening the 9th –70 Euros for dinner, cruise and concert.) If interested, contact her at clobert@compuserve.com, or leave a message for her at 01-42-02-37-11.
