About Amita

Hello friends,

Thank you so much for visiting my art page! I’d love to share just a little bit about my journey and what really inspires the work I create.

I moved here from India when I was a teenager, and since then, I’ve made my home in the beautiful Tennessee Valley of North Alabama. Because of that, my art is a real mix—it carries stories from the land of my ancestors while also fully embracing my present and future. You can see this blending of cultures in both my paintings and my clay creations.

For me, art—whether you’re talking about visual, performing, or literary art—is simply essential to human life. It’s what brings vitality, renewal, and meaning to our shared existence. I truly believe that without it, society would lose its ability to grow, flourish, and stay alive to possibility. I feel so grateful to be part of this tribe of creators.

In every medium, my main goal is always to delight the eye, challenge the mind, and nourish the soul. My community, the world around me, and the events of the day constantly shape my narrative and inspire my work.

Over time, I’ve realized that my art is inseparable from my life’s story. I like to think of my paintings as being like sonnets—they are stories told through colors, lines, and shapes that invite you to explore and reflect. And if my paintings are sonnets, then I see my pottery as being like a haiku—where the form itself becomes the language. Whether they are functional or purely decorative, my clay pieces express the rhythms of both my heritage and the world around me.

Also, I’m proud to say that all proceeds from my work go toward various charities I support in both the USA and in India.
