After travelling to places like Nepal and India, I saw and met many people who had nothing. Some were tragically crippled. Some were disfigured. Some lived their lives on a traffic island in junk shelters with their young families. Considering myself extremely blessed, I asked myself how do these people continue to carry on? It is very apparent in these countries, that faith is necessary. It provides hope for the future and that things will become better especially when you have nothing.

This painting is of a young ‘Dalia Lama’ and I tried to capture that little bit of warmth faith can provide in a sometimes very cold world.
