Priya Vadhyar (b. 1980, India) is a visual artist currently living in Ellicott City (MD). In her current work, Priya explores the manifestation of, what Loren Eiseley calls, one’s “interior geography,” and the self’s relationship with the sum of things. Her work is an inquiry into the nature of boundaries, and the revelations that lie in juxtapositions. Priya’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as Gallery Beyond (Mumbai), The Drawing Studio (Tucson, AZ), Carroll Community College (Westminster, MD), Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (Hyattsville, MD) and Seacourt Print Workshop (Bangor, Ireland) among others. She is a member of Pell Lucy, an artist collective under the Shim Art Network. You can view her work on her website priyavadhyar.com and artsy.com.
TESTIMONIALS
“Priya opened my eyes and freed my hands to experiment with mark-making in ways I never imagined. Having the opportunity to react to features from all the senses and playing with chance and spontaneity are all exhilarating aspects of these experimental classes. Priya encourages risk taking and having fun with the process of creating in every sense.
Priya’s presentations are works of art in themselves. Her preparation is exceptional. I have taken many art classes but never one like this. She is a wonderful teacher; she sparks creative thinking with exciting prompts, exercises and inspiring resources.”
— Sarah M.
“I enrolled in Priya’s Experimental Drawing with the expectation that it would inform my mark making, my art making with new tools, new techniques, new insights, never imaging that it would not only meet those expectations but surpass them to such an extent as becoming life transformative in the process. Priya has set a new standard for instruction, mining stores of resources from across many disciplines presenting them in exquisite jewel cases of exercises shining gems each, leaving you wanting to dig into yourself and find the ones that are your own.”
