Artist intro ~ Devika

Below are images of some of her work.... 









Over to Devika...

I dream in color!
I have been fascinated with color from an early age and have always surrounded myself with it.
An education and career in the architecture and interior design industry   gave me a deeper understanding of color and the positive effects a good color palette can have on the inhabitants of any space. 
A few years back I started painting with acrylics and ventured into mixed media art.  My paintings are explorations of various media and textures and show my unrestrained obsession with color.  I paint whatever catches my fancy, sometimes a color scheme will compel me to start a painting and at other times an image from nature will.
Being born and raised in India, I have the advantage of having soaked in its rich and multi-colored culture and that very often comes through in my creations most of which are vividly colored and rich in texture.  I very often start a painting with just a color palette in mind and let my creative energy take charge of the canvas.
I have participated in several group shows, art fairs and bazaars in and around the San Francisco bay area as I really enjoy connecting with people and relating the stories behind my creations to those that are curious and I love listening to theirs in turn.
