04.01.2022 Hi all, this is a little film I put together about a great artist I met in India, Gopal Prasad Sharma. I visited him and his family over several days and they w...ere extremely generous to have me in their home and studio, and show me some of the way the artists in the family work. The techniques and the heritage is amazing, and who knows how much longer it will be around. Id like to get him out to Australia. I have some ideas about that, but Id appreciate your thoughts.
