Shilpa Hardas

I am an artist born and raised in India, I earned my BFA and came to US and settled in California. After the age of 50 I fulfilled my academic ambition of obtaining my Masters from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA.

I have been an educator of art for the past 14 years. I formed my own art academy, created a specialized curriculum for my students simultaneously working on my MFA and expressing myself through my art.

I have been inspired by Georgia O'Keefe and Cheryl Frey Richards. I am constantly experimenting with subject matters and mediums including but not limited to cosmetic and beauty products as a painting medium.
