PAST Artist of the month:

Profiles of the month:

Tiffany Wan:

Tiffany is a self-taught, hyper-realistic pencil artist, specializing in portraits. A native of California, she grew up in Los Angeles where she discovered her love of art at an early age. Her earliest love of landscapes quickly morphed into a passion for portraits when she realized how difficult, yet satisfying it was to capture the likeness of each unique individual while exploring the finer details, shadows, and textures within each piece. While her career as a lawyer has left little time for hobbies, she had recently refocused her attention on expanding her artistic horizons. Her favorite medium is a mechanical pencil and eraser, though she is currently exploring other mediums for color. Tiffany lives in the greater San Francisco Bay Area with her loving husband and two bunnies.

Mythili Kattupalli:

My name is Mythili. I am very passionate about fine arts since my childhood. I have done my masters in Economics and completed child psychology. Only 2 years back I started taking art classes and now I am focusing on fulfilling my childhood dream. I have finished all advanced level fine art classes. I am a nature lover and love to explore all mediums. I like to include nature in my art with a message. I was so excited that my first art sent to New Museum Los Gatos got selected, exhibited and sold! I also participated in meet the artist program with NUMU recently.

Preetha Jothimuthu:

Hello Art lovers! My name is Preetha Jothimuthu. I love making art equally as i love being an engineer. My style of art is vividity in color and I go after memorializing what inspires me in my day-to-day life. I paint scenes of magnificent mother nature or things dear to me or just simple things I find beauty and meaning from peoples activities and life. I hope you like my art!

Saikat Choudhury:

I am a self taught artist who wants to experiment with different medium. Charcoal and ink are my medium of choice. I would start with a photograph which appeals to me and create an artistic composition out of it, which highlights a selected portion out of the entire composition.
