Jane Choephell -Spent a year teaching in the nursery school in Dharamsala and never looked back. Jane studied tibetan art and buddhism, including the art of brocading thangkas (traditional framing). In 1998 the whole family moved back to the UK, where she continues to help organise 'tibet - a living tradition' events, in between writing the explanatory texts and booklets which accompany the paintings and exhibits. (and playing with the website!) and now branching into the commercial world with slight trepidation!
