Pilgrim: a traveler, a spiritual seeker, one on a journey of truth

Pilgrimage is a topological exhibit of paintings on paper and cloth, composed throughout a period of more than sixteen years. During this time, I designed and directed groups of students in painting the interior murals and related artwork in four major stupas, three in the USA and one in India. Inspired by these substantial mural painting projects, this exhibit displays three interrelated spheres of the body of work I developed beyond the murals. Click on any of the images to see more paintings in each of the three interrelated spheres; stupa portraits, stupa medallions, dakini map.
