Romio Shrestha's depictions of White Tara, Green Tara, the Medicine Buddha, and many other celestials invite meditation and reflection. The original artworks were made from natural ingredients like marigolds and hand-ground malachite and lapis, and were painted at times with just three hairs of a cat's tail. Each work of art took months to create and is reproduced here in hauntingly powerful detail.
