Yeshi Pelden developed a passion for art while assisting his uncle, a painter, during a winter vacation. Inspired by this experience, he joined the National Institute for Zorig Chusum (NIZC) in Thimhpu, Bhutan, where he learned from esteemed teachers such as Tshewang Tenzin. He served as the student leader and was awarded the Best Outgoing Student medal in 2014. Yeshi is now a painting instructor at NIZC, which is dedicated to preserving and promoting Bhutan’s traditional arts and cultural heritage. See his work @yeshipaldhen
