| Shubhangi Mantri, a freelance artist, is based in
Denton, Texas. She has a degree in Interior Design and began her studies in
oil painting. After raising two children, Shubha began to pursue her art
again. Several artists introduced and motivated her towards the use of
watercolor. Currently she works from her studio at home. She has had the
opportunity to attend workshops with national artists, and enjoys traveling
the world. Her paintings have focused on various themes such as flowers,
landscapes, buildings and clay pots. She has used her artistic imagination
by painting the blueprints of homes. She transforms the blue print of the
front elevation of the house into watercolor. Presently she is enamored
with the gestures of Indian classical and folk dance. Shubha feels that to
pursue any dream on has to give time and have perseverance, "For me, this
entire experience has been very involving. On the one hand painting keeps me
thinking of the principles of elements of design, and on the other it is a
highly intuitive and personal experience, After completing a painting, I
feel that this is my way to looking at the world, my unique perspective.
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than critiquing my own work." |
