About
Varsha Pradhan is a fine artist who has studied painting in college and privately under nationally and internationally known artists. She holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology, a diploma in Textile Design from Bombay University, and an Associate Degree in Advertising Design.
Originally from India, Varsha has displayed and sold her paintings internationally. She has traveled extensively and is fascinated by architecture all over the world. She likes to explore styles of twentieth century masters like Pollock, Picasso, and Rothko. Her style has evolved to abstract expressionistic, using oils, acrylics, and mixed media on canvas. She finds new textures by blending colors with palette knives. She is always inspired by colors and shapes in nature and how harmoniously balanced nature can be.
Varsha was selected by the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte for the Community Supported Arts program and given a grant to produce 50 paintings in 2020. Her theme is Doors. Recently her work was selected for display at the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, for the exhibit - Counting Up - the Ballot. She has displayed her paintings in and outside of Charlotte, received a grant from the McColl Center for Visual Arts, curated an exhibit at Spirit Square, won first place at CPCC Pease Gallery, and showed her work in juried shows in several exhibits.
