ABOUT THE ARTIST
Garima Parakh is a fine artist from the Boston area who creates landscapes, still life and floral paintings that have a certain joyful emotion in them. She draws her sense of color from many places including her native country India and USA, her home since 1999. In 2011, she left a successful career in the IT industry to pursue her passion for art. Oil is her medium of choice. The artist paints full time in her home studio in Andover.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Creating art that has great color, depth and mood are my key objectives. I use a combination approach from wet-on-wet, to layered, to scraping using both brush and palette knife. In my recent work, I am attempting to use shapes of color, transparency, and layers to create an interesting surface and design.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
All the paintings both large and small (in the glass display case) depict scenes from my neighborhood, Windemere Drive in Andover. I hope the viewer enjoys looking at the different viewpoints and seasons.
