About the artist
Jayashree is a visual artist based in Seattle. Her upbringing was in India and she taught mathematics as a university instructor before quitting to pursue art. She paint portraits, landscapes and work inspired by her Indian cultural roots.

Statement
“My art is a journey of exploration, a quest to elevate the viewer’s perception. I draw inspiration from Sanskrit poetry, its imagery, metaphors, and existential questions. My paintings are puzzles, invitations to ponder the deeper meaning of life, our connection to nature, and our role in society.

I celebrate the contributions of those who have shaped our world, and I highlight the fragility of the ecosystem we share. My landscapes are odes to the beauty and wonder of nature, while my portraits are tributes to the human spirit.

My hope is to ignite thought, inspire conversation, and spark a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

Come and visit me at one of these shows, or write to me. I look forward to sharing my work with you!”
