Sandhyaa Shetty
Sandhyaa Shetty is a fine artist specializing in landscape paintings executed in oils and acrylics. She works in the traditions of the impressionists and plein air genres. Her earliest works reflected the beauty of rural India as she experienced it at her grandparents’ farm. She sought to paint the interaction of divine nature and emotional connection to the land with the intent to freeze it upon her canvas to preserve it forever. When her marriage brought her to the United States, the beautiful landscapes and people in her new home continue to inspire her work.
Shetty started drawing at a very early age under the guidance of her father, whose career was in advertising. She received her Bachelor of Fine Art degree in commercial art from the College of Fine Art, Bangalore, India. She worked as a visualizer for a few years and taught commercial art at the Institute of Fine Arts. She then decided to work full–time as a painter.
Shetty’s artworks have been exhibited and well–received at national and international juried shows. She has received numerous awards and recognition for her work, including the Janet Ross Memorial Award for the Most Realistic Landscape, several Awards of Excellence, and the Art of the West Publisher’s Choice Award.
