I’m so excited to be the featured artist at the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival in September.
First of all, Sun Valley must be beautiful. The man who’ll be handling my artwork said I should be prepared to fall in love and make the inevitable decision to move there. It’s that intoxicating! We’ll see. I’m sure it will be nice.
Five of my pieces will be displayed in the Sun Valley Opera House, the main venue for the film screenings. They’ll probably flank the stage and be illuminated for three days by the grace of dozens of films that explore spiritual traditions from around the world and cherish the human spirit.
There will be
- Two traditional thangkas — White Tara and Buddha Shakyamuni
- Two contemporary works — Three Mongolians and Nomad Girls
- And my beloved Chenrezig, a thangka quilt.
Of the 30 or so films of varying lengths and varying formats, I’m especially eager to see Brilliant Moon: Glimpses of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. I never met that extraordinary mountain of a man, but my heart melts open every time I see a photo of him or hear his name. I already know I’ll be in tears throughout the film.
If you’re anywhere near Sun Valley — or want to come and risk falling in love with the place along with me — please join me and a whole bunch of brilliant filmmakers and spiritual journeyers from September 17 to 19.
Find me and introduce yourself. I would love to meet you.
