Shows, Exhibitions & Fairs

Carmen regularly shows and sells her art at different events such as Spiritual fairs, World Fairs, Tibetan and Buddhist Fairs, in different places both inside as well as in the open air.

She creates a beautiful booth, and sells not only her artwork (in the form of thangkas, framed artwork, cards, bookmarks, stickers, pendants etc.) but also Buddhist jewelry and amulets that she brings from her travels.
