This 30-minute documentary film explores the life and work of Tsherin Sherpa. A devoted Tibetan Buddhist artist, trained by his father in the art of traditional Tibetan Buddhist thangka painting, Sherpa moved to San Francisco from Kathmandu and reinvented himself to fit his surroundings, finding new meaning for an ancient art form and launching the next wave in Tibetan contemporary art.
Dr. John Henry Rice, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art and curator of Tsherin Sherpa: Spirits, discusses the film with producer/director Sheri Brenner.
