Radha Bai Painting

I am a painter, graphic designer, co-founder of a rural Indian social enterprise working with weaving co-operatives. I thrive on interdisciplinary processes and let all the parts of my work and life experiences inform my mark-making. I am working on a series of paintings currently examining motherhood, postpartum, grief and body image. These paintings document the deeply personal through symbolic and surrealistic imagery. I chose to explore my inner fears, weaknesses and vulnerabilities in these paintings, as an effort to confront them and, in some way, find a resolution.
