Faith Stone is a seasoned artist whose exploration of carving and painting Buddhas spans over more than three decades, marked by a deep immersion in the traditional art of Tibetan thangka painting. For 20 years, Faith dedicated herself to mastering the intricacies of thangka, honoring sacred proportions and capturing the essence of traditional Tibetan art.
However, Faith's artistic spirit yearned for exploration and innovation. She took a bold step into the realm of contemporary expression while maintaining the sanctity of thangka painting. Her work is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, where sacred proportions meet new landscapes, breathing fresh life into an ancient art form.
Beyond her canvas, Faith has assumed the role of a guardian of cultural heritage. Over the past 10 years, she has been fervently committed to the preservation and revival of Buddha Woodblocks, particularly Thangka woodblocks. This art form faced endangerment in the wake of the Chinese Communist invasion of Tibet. Faith's dedication has made her one of the few artists worldwide engaged in the intricate processes of carving and hand-printing Buddhist woodblocks.
Faith Stone's journey is a testament to the resilience of art and the commitment to cultural preservation. As she navigates the delicate balance between tradition and contemporary exploration, Faith continues to be a beacon in the art world—a custodian of heritage, a pioneer in innovation, and a bridge between ancient practices and modern interpretations.

James (Shambho) DeCamp’s love for drawing began in Kindergarten when his teacher handed out a blank white piece of paper. With joy, he grabbed his crayons and drew a pirate ship! For over 70 years Shambho has been creating art since that fateful moment! Shambho holds a master’s degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art and has lived a diverse life including time spent in Montana as a traveling sales rep. It was during his 10 years of living in the Eldorado Mountain Yoga Ashram that he rekindled his passion for art in Faith Stone’s inspiring classes. More recently, since the pandemic hit, Shambho has focused on figurative presentation landscapes and deities. His drawings have a unique ability to captivate people, as they seem to leap off the page. Beyond his artistic and creative talents, Shambho is a heart-centered yogi, offering kindness and generosity to everyone he meets. Living his life with intention, he inspires those around him with both his art and his spirit.

Rosalie (Kalidasi) Thompson is a ceramicist, painter and muralist based in Northern Colorado. Her art practice is all about creative exploration and enjoying the process of making work. By taking the focus away from a specific outcome, her art finds its own voice and evolves in a more organic and creative way.
As a former resident artist at Eldorado Mountain Yoga Ashram, she had the great fortune of painting contemporary thangka- style murals in the temples and sacred spaces at all 3 Shambhavananda ashrams. In recent years she has shifted her focus from painting to ceramics. Her many years of painting on walls and canvasses are evident in the highly decorated surfaces of her ceramics work.
Watch her social media and website for more of her playful and colorful functional ceramics, as well as her upcoming woodfired ceramic work- less colorful by nature of the process, she is excitedly exploring larger and more sculptural forms with spiritual themes!

I am a Colorado native and grew up with the Colorado outdoors as my playground and constant companion. My art is reflective of and deeply connected to the outdoors and nature.
As a CNC laser and graphic artist, I work with wood, metal, glass, and other organic materials. I create and infuse each piece of my art with color, handcrafted frames, and personalized design work. My affinity to working with a variety of different types of wood is directly connected to the challenge of incorporating the organic irregular forms, textures and color found in wood into each art piece.
Additionally, I am a proud father, husband, and a full-time Denver firefighter. Working as a firefighter can be stressful. My artistic style often contrasts and embodies pieces which inspire and others which reflect a more somber side.
Structure Fire Studios is my passion and where you can find me on my days off, losing track of time, and creating art. I am honored to create and share my art with you.

I got into making spiritual jewelry after taking a mala workshop at Shoshoni.
It's one way for me to meditate and do mantra as I create beautiful pieces of wearable art. Each piece is blessed with the Gayatri Mantra.

Don (Sanje) Murray and Diana (YaDevi) Shellenberger started keeping bees as a response to concerns about how agricultural practices are imperiling pollinator populations. In 2021, we made our hobby into a business, Buddha And The Bees. Like the bees, we use the ingredients from our immediate environment-the wax and honey from the bees and flowers and herbs from our pesticide-free gardens -to handcraft pure beeswax candles and deluxe skin care products. We also do our part to make the environment safe for honeybees and other pollinators by sourcing organic and fair trade ingredients and using recyclable, reusable and compostable packaging.
