"My present body of work represents a fantasy of heritage: the patterns and confluence of traditional art forms and references to embroideries and embellishments from India. I like to explore and reinterpret indigenous decorative traditions within my art practice.
"The decorative style of art that I create is like revisiting the past. As a contemporary artist and a creative individual, my heritage refers to all that I have inherited. The ideas, designs and patterns eventually become my connection with visual media and other creative expressions."
Please join us for an exploration into the imaginative and colorful world of artist and writer Shelly Jyoti.
In addition to her solo show, with more than 15 paintings, Shelly Jyoti is offering insights into the inspiration for and creation of her art at a workshop on March 15th. Included will be a lecture, slide presentation and the creation of a piece of art. -- www.womanmade.org
