Her work is filled with stories from the land of her ancestors and ties to her present and future.  This mix of cultures is displayed in all her paintings and clay artwork. \nShe believes that if art (whether visual\, performing\, or\nliterature) is eliminated from people’s lives\, civilized\nsociety would struggle to exist. Amita says\, “It’s clear that artists breathe freshness\, growth\, vitality\, energy\, and life into our social fabric and\nconsciousness. Without art – society would stop flourishing and renewing itself – it would become stale\, stagnate\, and eventually decay. I am privileged to be part of the tribe of artists.” \nAmita’s paintings are like sonnets that tell stories with colors\, lines\, and shapes that challenge\, excite\, and immerse her. She says\, “in this line\, if my paintings are my\nsonnets then my pottery are my haikus – where the shape is my narrative. Whether it is functional or nonfunctional\, working with clay\, I can create the most interesting shapes\, reflective of my cultural background\, and events around me.” \nDuring the Pandemic\, she created about 30 paintings inspired from our Sanskrit teachings and texts for an exhibition titled\,  “Moments of Radiance.”  This exhibition won the hearts of many last year while on display at the Tennessee Valley Museum\nof Art.  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”4857″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” el_class=”extra_works” z_index=””][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”127″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”127″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”127″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n
