Wildlife Artist Oshawa Ontario | About Me and my Art Journey
Wildlife Artist Oshawa Ontario | About Me and my Art Journey
Hello!!!!!
I am Vidhya Srijesh, an abstract realism artist passionately inspired by nature and wildlife on a mission to bring the vibrant essence of the natural world into your home. My artistic journey began in childhood, sparked by winning a school drawing competition featuring a mother and baby elephant. With limited access to art supplies, I transformed everyday materials - flowers, magazine cutouts, and old lace into vibrant collages.
Life’s twists led me away from art for a while, but relocating to Canada reignited my creativity. Surrounded by a wealth of colors and art supplies, I embraced experimentation with acrylics and mixed media, resulting in eclectic, bold works rich in texture that spread positivity and hope. My art has been exhibited across Ontario and featured in various online galleries and art communities, reflecting my commitment to inspiring joy and curiosity.
What makes my art truly special is that it can be enjoyed by the whole family. Each painting is not just an addition to your décor, but a source of inspiration and joy for everyone from children to adults. As you explore my collection, you’ll discover how each piece can breathe new life into your environment, making your space not just a home but a sanctuary filled with inspiration and beauty. Whether it’s a burst of color in a hallway or a stunning centerpiece in a living room, my art has the power to evoke feelings of happiness and serenity, enhancing your surroundings and enriching your daily life. Let my paintings add a splash of vibrancy to your walls, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary!
Imagine your living room illuminated by the rich colors of nature, inspiring conversations and uplifting spirits every day.
