Tara & Company is honored to
present fine Buddhist and Asian art, primarily thangkas (paintings) and
rupas (statues). Our commitment within this business is to bring the principles
of Right Livelihood and Compassionate Activity into the world from artisan
to practitioner. Tara & Company's intention is to be a vehicle to pass on
these sacred works of art to people in the West and to support the artisan's
time-honored traditional crafts. We have been working with the finest artists
in Nepal for nearly fifteen years, cultivating both strong business relationships
as well as dear friendships.
The copper statues we carry are made by the "lost wax method," a complex
technique that requires hand sculpting and meticulous attention to detail.
The craftsmanship involved in the creative process helps imbue the pieces
with the essential qualities of Buddhist practice. The thangkas are hand
painted individually and are all unique pieces of artwork. We recently have
added Hindu deities to our selection. Wooden Quan Yin statues carved in
China. Ganesh, Saraswati and Lokeshme in both wooden statues and carved
panels from India.
Tara & Company is dedicated to providing a wide range of high quality pieces
of art in each price range. We feel honored to make these beautiful and
imaginative sacred works of art accessible to everyone. We feel strongly
that right intention adds to the essence and quality of each piece. Each
piece uniquely supports the intention and beautifies the environment where
it rests.
We work closely with our artists in Kathmandu and therefore are happy to
commission special orders designed for your practice or simply to beautify
your home. We accept personal checks and money orders payable in U.S. currency,
Visa and MasterCard. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase
from Tara & Company, we refund or exchange within 14 days of purchase.
We heartfully welcome inquiries, and will be happy to send you photographs
of particular pieces via regular mail or email upon request.
Namasté,
Julie Freed
