Sarika Singh (Thangka painter)

Sarika Singh is perhaps the first female painter and teacher in the tradition of the Himalayan Buddhist Art of Thangka Painting, according to a statement from the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.[1][2] Singh currently runs the Thangde Gatsal Thangka Studio and School with her husband, Master Locho, who is a senior Thangka painter.[3] The couple have recently founded and begun work on the Museum of Himalayan Arts and Culture in Dharamsala.[4] The painter also spends some time lecturing about the art of Thangka and has had her studio's work exhibited in the October Gallery of London.[5] A graduate of Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Singh honored another notable alumna Aung San Suu Kyi with a Thangka painting of White Tara in November 2012.[4][6][7]
