ABOUT

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am my happiest when in nature. I try to recreate joy and calm of experiencing nature in my paintings.

I love painting with Acrylics because of my love for details and its vibrant hues. I also enjoy how realistic and handy watercolors are to paint with.

I paint to celebrate moments of joy with nature and aim to translate the feeling of my love and wonder in my paintings.

ARTIST JOURNEY

Art. My love at 1st sight from my very 1st art class in school. I would have wonder in my eyes and a smile on my lips; pure happiness. I would wait every week for that one hour of art class to learn something new.

As life caught up I lost touch. I would save chocolate wrappers with scenic beauty to paint them and gift them to near dear ones. Then in 2013 at Clearwater, Florida I signed up for a Painting class and that’s all it took to get hooked again. There was no turning back.

I started off painting with the intent to learn different forms of painting and then as a form of gratitude towards people close to me. Before starting any painting, I put down prayers and wishes for the receiver and when I paint, a reel of happy memories play on my mind. While I feel the joy of giving them a part of me, I am sure they can feel the love too.

HI! I am Deepika Shah, a self-taught full-time artist. I find poetry in nature as I observe and study trees, rain, water bodies, skies, mountains, the sun, the moon, the stars and all of mother nature’s beauty.
