Welcome! Sain Bainuu! Tashidelek!
Initially, this site was intended to showcase my artwork. However, my artwork is closely intertwined with my experiences, interests and travels. Central Asia has always been an interest of mine and for the past several years, my focus has been on Mongolia, Central Asian archaeology, Tibetan Buddhism, Goddess imagery, nature and spirituality.
In 2004, I traveled to Mongolia for the first time - a lifelong dream. The next year, I was invited back as a volunteer to teach English and Art. While I was there, I made many wonderful friends and connections with the Art community.
From 2006-2008, I taught Art and English classes. I also wrote for the UB Post, gave a weekly news broadcast, and worked with friends and colleagues on various projects. I also started a Saturday morning ceramic arts program for children which I hope to develop in the future.
