My name is Vaishali Vats. I was born and raised in India. I moved to Canada in 2020, working as an IT Project Manager. I come from a Defence family, with my father being in the Army, my sister and husband served in Air Force. My husband accompanied me to Canada. He is a veteran. I travelled many places in India since childhood and developed an interest in Art from my school days by creating cartoon strips from comics, . However, I am not professionally trained. I believe everyday is a new learning for me. Creating art is the best form of meditation for me and brings peace in the fast pace world of IT.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I am a self-taught artist who has learnt and grown as an artist through observation and lots of practice and experiments. I love working on various artforms, like Madhubani, Zentangle, Abstract art, pop art, acrylic pouring. I have so far worked on Paper and Canvas materials. I have sold few paintings and Zentangle drawings and love the feeling of sharing a part of my creations with the people who trust their homes, offices etc with my art. I draw my inspiration from everyday life, from nature and sometimes random things. However, the core for me is to be immersed in the incredible world of colours and patterns/zenart, which is very visible in my art as well.
