Painter, sculptor, speaker and writer, Sherab Khandro's deepest
wish is to nourish and inspire the hearts and minds of others
through her work in the spiritual arts. Sherab Khandro
brings expression to the sacred through images from mystical
traditions around the world.
She is one of a handful of Western artists to receive
formal training from Tibetan masters in exile in the United States
in bringing forth traditional art in the way it has been done in
Tibet for centuries. Using the neo-impressionist style of
pointillism in her paintings, tiny dots of color create rich and
vibrant imagery. Utilizing the intent of her vow as a Bodhisattva,
a vow taken by Buddhists to return again and again until all
suffering has come to an end, each stroke of the brush holds a
prayer of compassion. Each dot offered as a jeweled universe,
a prayer to end suffering in the world.
Her sculptures can be seen as part of numerous sacred
Buddhist monuments called stupas, in private collections and
galleries. She served as the Spiritual Arts director for Kunzang
Palyul Choeling, a Tibetan Buddhist center for practice and study
in Maryland and Arizona, USA.
Speaking and teaching on the nature of her work, her technique
and it's impact globally and personally, she engages and inspires
groups large and small. Fifteen years as a Buddhist nun in the
Tibetan tradition she brings profound spiritual training to all of
her work. She is committed to living from her heart and
inspires others to do the same.
"As world citizen's, we have an opportunity, quite possibly a
responsibility, to bring our best qualities forth for the benefit
of all. Giving birth to the deepest aspirations of our
hearts, through our words and our deeds. My art is my
voice, I wish to speak of loving kindness, compassion and
peace."
