Artist Statement:
My work revolves around the
ideas and insights of Tibetan

Commissions:
Commissions accepted for new
work or reinterpretations of
some existing paintings. A
painting can take a turn at a
thousand different points in
the making process, each
choice leading to a different
set of problems and solutions.
So I think it's possible to
have a hundred paintings of a
