Marie Danielle Leblanc “A Trek Across Nepal”
Elisa Contemporary Art
This event has ended.
In the Fall of 2014, Marie Danielle Leblanc embarked upon world travels which took her on a two month journey to Nepal. In light of the recent earthquake in Nepal, a portion of all the gallery sales from this exhibit will be donated to relief efforts in Nepal through AmeriCares and Charity: Water
By mid November, Marie was trekking in the Annapurna Sanctuary and several days later thru Thorong La Pass, over 17,769 feet above sea level.
During her trip to the Himalayan Region, which is the Sanskrit term for “abode of the snow” (hima (snow) + laya (dwelling)), she was captivated and inspired by the beauty and the spirituality.
She captured some of her thoughts and reflections, including these:
I am in the Himalayan mountains there is no word strong enough to describe so much beauty…This morning, the view was stunning over the white cap snow mountains, pure joy to look at this scene…Here in the mountains, I lost track of the date, day and even the month, first time in my life.
It is believed that high deities of Hinduism, Buddhism, and ancient shamanistic traditions call this remarkable place home.
This solo exhibit of, A Trek Across Nepal, is inspired by these travels.
