ARTIST STATEMENT:
​
A wonderful sense of completion came upon finishing in a month, like some long-held contemplative prayer released through art.
Dealing with one small part at a time paved the way in life, with eventual clarity of complexity.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
​
Buddhist philosophy and the symbolism embedded in this ancient art comes with strict lineage adherence to proportions, colours and symbols. Restrictive yet freeing.
​
Four months of artwork held in loving perseverance as prayer for a beloved soul's wellbeing, resulted in eventual breakthrough of circumstances.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
Traditional Buddhist art of thangka iconography involves a process of prayer and meditation as the artwork unfolds. Yields great inner peace and calm along with a subtle sense of knowing my inner Buddha a little better.
