I'm Sadhana, a south indian artist from Philadelphia. After studying neuroscience, I switched to bone research with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia alongside creating art. I initially only completed pieces by commission, but now, I curate collections of my art to represent different areas of my life.

This past year, I worked to overcome the grief of my grandparents’ health and the setbacks in my educational journey. Art began immortalizing the lessons given to me by my grandparents, and a way to relieve my overall anxiety. It continuously reminds me that even when someone passes, we don’t completely lose them. They live through us.

Now, my art emphasizes beauty in everyday interactions and occurrences. Through only using thrifted frames and clothing, each piece is made sustainably and uniquely for each found “canvas”. Most pieces have a south indian tone as well through subject matter, canvas, or color palette. I still create pieces and custom clothing by commission, but I love creating my own collections and presenting my works in galleries, and I hope to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.
