He studied with the Venerable Sengye Yeshi, former personal painter of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Kalsang moved to North America in 1998 and began pushing the boundaries of tradition with an evolving personal style. Emphasizing art as a source of insight and healing, he has conducted more than 50 workshops at museums, galleries, Buddhist centers, and educational institutions. His prints have sold at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, and the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia.

This calendar is gorgeous. It includes thangkas of many of the most popular Tibetan Buddhist figures, both peaceful and wrathful. Purchasing it also supports an actual Tibetan artist; moreover, the calendar includes holidays from ALL major world religions, and the publisher is at least making some efforts toward doing business responsibly. I consider that a win-win.
