LASHA MUTUAL (http-//lashamutual.com) is an artist whose deep commitment to Buddhist theory and practice has suffused her artistic expression, giving rise to a body of work that blends the action of painting with a meditative sense of contemplation and focus. Lasha's intention is to cultivate a generous, peaceful, and clear mind that becomes manifest in her artwork and that can be shared with others. She lives with her husband, son, and an abundance of pets in a little yellow brick cottage in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
