About Me

"Art is my obsession and the ultimate love of my life"

Geeta is a Distinguished Artist of 2020 from Cupertino, recognized for her self-representing, contemporary, and impressionist art style. She was born and educated in India. She graduated with a Master of Art (Sociology) and a Bachelor of Education. During her formal education, she also took training for five years with renowned Indian artist Rameshwar Broota at Triveni Kala Sangam Institute in Delhi.

Geeta has traveled very widely. Since 1997, she has been living and traveling out of India with her husband. She left India in 1997 and lived in Estonia, Bulgaria, Malaysia, and Bosnia. She now spends most of her time between India, Singapore, and the United States. Traveling and living in different countries opened her vision and understanding of art. She appreciated the diversity and uniqueness of art in different cultures across European countries, which is reflected in her paintings, apart from a great touch of Indian culture.

She had her first individual exhibition in June 2011 at Zenica, Bosnia. She has participated in many exhibitions and art colonies in Europe. At present, she regularly participates in exhibitions in the Bay Area, California, and has won well-deserved awards. She is a regular contributor of her artworks for charitable causes. She uses oil and acrylic paints and loves to do textured art with a pallet knife on canvas. She also does watercolor paintings on paper. She expresses herself through paintings by using vibrant colors and textures. Paintings are enriched with various themes, including landscapes, portraits, flowers, Hindu Gods, and abstract forms.

Before becoming a full-time freelance artist, she also worked as a professional school teacher (the profession she also loved). During that period, she also painted and designed many stage backdrops, magazine covers, murals, and signboards for schools. She has authored a book “Easy Going And Interesting World”
