This is one of the first paintings I started after lockdown. It calls for healing not just physically, but socially, emotionally, and culturally. To not simply put a bandaid over the wounds, but to bring the shadows to light and come to terms with ourselves and each other as perfectly flawed, squishy, yet resilient humans. I wanted this painting to call community together and use our collective power to manifest the best possible reality moving forward.

Om tara tuttara ture svaha

The White Tara Mantra was taught to me by Thangka painting master, Romio Shrestha. Upon integrating it into my practice, I felt compelled to paint this vision of healing I originally had during a meditation at one of Amanda Sage’s workshops. The White Tara is compassionate and heals wounds of the body and mind. While we still have a long way to go, I think we can leave this world a better place.
