About Artist
26 years ago, Moitreyee Chowdhury stood on the roof of her third floor apartment in Delhi. If only she could capture that busy, frantic, wonderful city on her drawing paper. The wall on her room was her first canvas, and so were the pages between the chapters of her history book. She grew up in India, drawing, painting, singing loudly, and laughing loudly. After getting a BFA from the College of Arts in Delhi, Moitreyee learned German and did an Internship with the Theater Das Tat in Frankfurt, Germany. All that she had seen on the roof, came to life in the the three months of the German Theater. Circumstances brought her to California, where mentors and artists Paddy Moran and Katie Frank led her to the few years of intensely exploring more materials and thoughts that shaped her creative thinking process. For her art, Moitreyee derives inspiration from her surroundings and the people in it. She is motivated by the kindness and compassion of human beings that she sees around the world, and hopes to spread the same with her work.
