Passion for colors and years of training in media such as oils, acrylic, porcelain, pastels, abstracts, mixed media and pottery have brought Usha to a point where she is now – known nationally and internationally, as an artist who brings life into canvas. I paint portraits, figurative, abstracts, on different media, be it acrylic, oil, mixed media or porcelain; I took formal painting courses, won accolades and recognition, got cited in newspapers and art magazines.
