Demo showcases traditional Indian art of Kalamkari

Artist Hetal Anjaria explores mythical and cultural themes through her painting technique

Fremont Art Association (FAA) is delighted to have member Hetal Anjaria as the guest artist at its General Meeting and Art Demo on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at the FAA Gallery.

Anjaria is a mixed media and Indian folk artist. In her demo, “Exploring the traditional Indian Art Form of Kalamkari,” Anjaria will showcase elaborate Kalamkari painting techniques and reveal her own interpretations and adaptations of this ancient craft with contemporary designs. 

Anjaria was born and raised in Mumbai, India. She holds a bachelor’s degree in textile design.

Since her move to the United States, Anjaria has broadened her range of creative experiences and skills and has become a One Stroke certified instructor. Today her artwork encompasses a variety of media including color pencil, watercolor, acrylic, oil, ink and natural dyes.

Most recently Anjaria has turned her attention to traditional Indian art with enthusiasm and a commitment to promoting its appreciation and preservation. She delights in its intricate motifs, natural aesthetics, mythical and spiritual themes, and cultural significance. 

Anjaria’s work has been included at art exhibitions at organizations such as Olive Hyde Art Guild, Pacific Art League, Hayward Art Gallery, Livermore Art Association and San Francisco Women Artists Gallery.
