“I am thankful to have been working with Carmen since I started at the Rubin Museum in 2011. We are happy to welcome her each year when she travels to New York. She has led interesting and informative trainings and lectures for our educators, as well as thangka painting classes, and demonstrations for our annual Block Party.
One of our favorite sessions was her training on Mandalas, which provided clarity to a very complicated subject. She patiently explored the artwork and symbolism in an engaging and accessible manner. It is interesting to learn about the art and materials from her perspective as an artist and thangka painter.
In my role of scheduling, and overseeing trainings for our educators, working with her has been delightful. She has been flexible and adaptable with a variety of subjects and adjusted her trainings accordingly.
She is deeply connected to her work and her passion is evident in the quality and vibrancy of her lectures.
We hope to schedule another session next time she is in New York, and we would love to have her back for another talk at the Rubin Museum.”
