Bhama Sridharan is a software professional and has worked for 16 years for various IT companies. Currently she volunteers as a STEM resource person for several NGOs working in the educational sector.
For Bhama, painting is a hobby that she takes very seriously. After experimenting with several mediums, the medium she finds most challenging and enjoys the most is water colours, and has spent the last few years trying to master the subtleties and nuances of this fascinating art form. She specializes in landscapes and nature and enjoys doing water colour portraits of family and friends. She especially loves painting children at play, trying to catch their innocence and pure joy.
She has taken part many times in the women artist festival “Akankasha” at Chitrakala Parishad and also in the “50 Shades of Black and White” exhibition at Venkatappa Art Gallery. She took part in the portraiture competition held during the 6th anniversary celebrations of NGMA, and her painting was selected as one of 10 to be exhibited at the NGMA premises. Two of her paintings have been selected by the International Water Color Society Biennale to be exhibited in “Pearls Of Peace” exhibition in Pakistan and “Waves Of Colors” exhibition in Bangladesh. During COVID Lockdown times, in the National Watercolour competition held by IWS India, her painting won the second place.
