To himself, Curtis is just a painter. He's been expressing abstract and ofte

he was young. But after achieving renown in the public eye, to the world,
he's become an artist. A rather idiosyncratic one, they say, due to his avo

Code: Select all
Sonam Yeshe considers her past her own to keep. It is not out of shame, or a true need to conceal it, but a certain possessiveness: it is all she has of her past home in this foreign land, and so it does not belong to anyone but herself. She was born in the Himalayas and lived the first ten or so years of her life in the mountains, a world beyond explanation to the people of the court, let alone a peasant who has never set foot outside of their village. A harsh life — until her brother was chosen as a monk, and set to become a high-ranking member of a large monastery. They sent Sonam as his servant. The new environment should have been overwhelming, but she took to it naturally. While he trained, she absorbed everything she could. Reading, writing, sums, and the manners of the respected and wealthy who would visit the monastery. Their two faces, and their politics.
She was about fourteen when a party including herself and her brother, then already a leader in the community, was sent west. It was highly unusual, but Sonam's brother, Ghaden, was an inquisitive man. He had influence and he wished to use it to learn about the world outside of what they already knew. This was the beginning of a journey lasting ten years. They lived in many countries, moving constantly westward through what would now be known as the middle east, and eventually eastern and central europe, recording cultures, learning what they could, and facing many circumstances, sometimes dangerous. During these years, Sonam learned that she was ambitious and had a mind for politics, including swaying the decisions of monarchs and aristocrats. A life in her brother's shadow would never suffice. When the time came for Ghaden to turn back and take what they had gathered back to Tibet, Sonam talked him into letting her stay as their diplomat — in central europe, a miserable place. But less so surrounded by the opulence of a court.
