On January 7, 2024, fine artists Jayashree Sadasivan and Angelo Lopez had a talk on their journeys as artists, the influence of Indian art, and the fun in doing artwork for utility boxes.
Jayashree Sadasivan is a Fine Artist/Mural Artist, Illustrator and Graphic Designer from Sunnyvale, California.
She had a wide variety interests including Painting, Drawing, Utility Art Box projects, Creating Illustrations for Children’s Picture books along with Logo design and Branding for local small business needs. Her love for drawing and painting started ever since my parents gifted me a box of crayons for my birthday in kindergarten.
Jay uses bright colors in most of her artworks for vivacity and expressiveness. She gathers inspiration from Nature and she paints a variety of subjects-whatever suits her fancy at the moment. Colored Pencils, Acrylics, Digital Art, Pen & Ink, Gouache and Mixed media are some of her favorite mediums to create art with.
