The Bhutan Society organises several events each year, in London and elsewhere, for Society members.

The next events will be:

Doug Patterson - An Artist in Paradise

Thursday 25th September, 6:30pm

Doug will explain to us how he set out to follow the journeys of three travelling artists of the 18th and 19th centuries, Samuel Davis, Vasileio Gregorovic Barsky and Hercules Brabazon. They individually travelled and visited some of the most important places of worship representing three of the world’s great faiths, Buddhism, Christian Orthodoxy and Islam

Doug has visited Bhutan 3 times to illustrate all 20 Dzongs and a selection of Chortens and was given special permission from her Majesty Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, Queen Mother of Bhutan, to travel and visit the Dzongs throughout Kingdom.  Doug’s contemporary portfolio illustrates the extraordinary and beautiful landscape and various locations of the Dzongs whilst gaining access to the mysterious heart of Himalayan Buddhism.
