Shey Khandro

Sacred Artist, Meditation Instructor, Spiritual Mentor

Born and raised in the United States, Sherab “Shey” Khandro was ordained as a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition for 15 years. Her art and philosophy for living express a blend of the East and the West.

In Shey’s paintings, she uses the neo-impressionist style of pointillism, tiny dots of color creating rich and vibrant imagery.

Utilizing the intent of her vow as a Bodhisattva, a vow taken by Buddhists to return again and again until all suffering has come to an end, each stroke of the brush holds a prayer of compassion.

Each dot offered as a jeweled universe, a prayer to end suffering in the world.

Her sculptures can be seen as part of sacred Buddhist monuments called stupas and in private collections.

Shey will inspire you to take a visionary look at our world. As an inspirational speaker, she disarms audiences with her humor and personal stories.
