Her Majesty Ashi Tshering Yangdon Wangchuck in VAST

Her Majesty the Queen Ashi Tshering Yangdon Wangchuck graced us with an informal visit to our studio this afternoon. Her Majesty met with all the senior members, and offered words of encouragement. Her Majesty pointed out the general lack of support towards artists, but urged us to strive on. Her Majesty also made a contribution to our fund. Asha Kama on behalf of VAST, offered to her Majesty,  a ceramic vase which was made by Mayiesh.

This is Her Majesty’s third visit.
