I'm very excited to have my Tibetan sacred art teacher, Carmen Mensink, on the podcast today! Carmen is an amazing artist from Holland and has been studying Tibetan Buddhist art and practicing Buddhism for almost 20 years. She now teaches at many wonderful places across New York City, including the Rubin Museum of Art, Tibet House - NY and many more, and I'm so fortunate to work with her on my own sacred art! She has graciously agreed to share her insight on sacred art with us today!
