I am Rushika Pandya, a watercolorist and artist deeply inspired by the beauty of nature and small moments of everyday life. I have been drawing and painting for as far as I can remember, but my love for watercolors bloomed over the 2020 pandemic. While painting with watercolors, I am deeply moved by the flow of water, the lack of control and always pleasantly surprised with the final painting. My journey as an artist is driven by a desire to capture the beauty, the fleeting moments of joy, light and shadow found in the nature and the world around us.

Through my artwork, I hope to express various emotions and also bring in a sense of calm and happiness. I believe that art has the power to uplift the spirit, and my hope is that each painting invites you into a tranquil space, where the chaos of everyday life fades away. My fascination with light, movement, and texture in nature continues to inspire my work, allowing me to create unique expressions that celebrate the world around us. When I’m not painting with watercolors, I explore other wonderful mediums of gouache, acrylics, pen and ink, graphite and charcoal.

When I’m not painting or drawing, you can find me being a scientist, engaging in my endless hobbies, hanging out with my cat, loving husband and friends, relaxing in nature and always sipping lots of tea!
