Avalon Visions – Kumar Lama
Kumar Lama was born into poverty and the caste tradition in the mountains of Nepal. At the age of 9, Kumar was discovered to be a prodigy by Palden Lama, a most highly respected and revered master Thangka painter. Through the strength of his art and the determination of his spirit, he overwhelmed the odds eventually coming to the United States to carry on his skills and training. Kumar Lama’s art brings this ancient knowledge to the West. Kumar continues to preserve and honor the traditions and technical purity of thangka painting by developing a first generation of American thangka painters.
