The portrait illustrations above were created to support people with illness such as Cancer and Duchene Muscular Dystrophy -Support Run for our Sons to purchase poster , a gift to a Buddhist Institute and fund-raising for community schools and libraries. The technique used, children’s painted paper art, was created by youth in Vermont, Nicaragua and Guatemala. This is the same technique I use with the co-created Wall Art, which is a composite of ideas gathered by students. Portrait work is available for commission.
A gift to His Holiness the 18th Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche
Kristina has been a supporter and admirer of the Buddhist tradition for over 20 years. Many years ago she came across the Trijang Buddhist Institute near her home in Vermont. There she found friends and a way to learn more about the religion and its people. In 2007 in honor of the North American Seat of His Holiness the 18th Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s birthday, Kristina created a portrait with his Holiness the Dalai Lama. Please visit their website at: http://www.tbiusa.org to learn more about this beautiful Buddhist Institute located in Northfield, Vermont.
