I am pleased to introduce my friend, Pema Rinzin, to ISALTA members. June Julian

Pema is currently the Artist in Residence at the Rubin Museum of Art.

A revered and enormously talented Tibetan thangka painter, Pema
is committed to preserving this sacred living art tradition.

It has been my privilege to know Pema as a friend and RMA colleague.

Please stop by the 4th floor of the museum to watch him as he works
on his second RMA commission, The Eight Bodhisattvas.
