Nepal Tourism Board, Nepal National Ethnographic Museum and friends of Jan Salter, who passed away last month, hosted the launch of the webpage, Faces of Nepal, at the Nepal Tourism Board, Brikutimandap on May 15.
The entire collection of Salter’s painting and drawings, which capture the faces of Nepal’s diverse ethnic groups, has now been made available at www.jansalter.org. Minister of Culture and Tourism, Rabindra Adhikari, and Deputy Chief of Mission of the British Embassy Nepal, Alison McEwen, attended the function.
Jan Salter MBE (1936-2018), a British artist, is widely known for her portraits of the people of Nepal, as well as for her leadership in several social causes, including the anti-trafficking movement and animal welfare. She was also the founder of Kathmandu Animal Treatment Center (KAT).
The webpage contains information on paintings and drawings for sale. The amount thus earned will be donated to KAT, as per the wish of the late artist.
