About Me

Bhavani: I am a contemporary artist who loves to use bright bold colors and expressive brushstrokes to give a unique spin on a variety of subjects. The brush is mightier than the pen :). While every painting tells a story, there is a story behind every painting as well. Through this blog, I hope to share these stories with you and give you an inside look at my creative process of creating a painting from inception to design to the finished work. Happy Reading!
