Sodhon

Sodhon is a self-taught contemporary Tibetan artist currently based in New York. He has worked on numerous Tibetan decorative arts and crafts since a young age while he also had the opportunity to work with a group of highly talented artisans on a mural restoration project for one of the most important monasteries in Tibet all of which laid the foundation for his later works. He moved to Dharamsala, India in 1988 where he taught art at a Tibetan school for several years and later devoted himself to Tibetan Children’s book Illustrations and comics which serves as a critical medium to impart and to conserve Tibetan language and culture for younger generations. While working on his art, he continued to serve as the chief illustrator/ cartoonist for various Tibetan journals and magazines before moving to New York in 2008.
