"Color and Strokes are the tools that I use for my artwork to convey a sense of energy, rhythm and movement "

Vinita Jain was born and brought up in India. She has been settled in the U.S. and in North Carolina for the past ten years and this is where she was first introduced to pastels. Art has been her passion since childhood and she worked as a Graphic Designer in India. After coming to North Carolina, she took courses in Drawing and Color Theory at Meredith College and since then has taken pastel classes and workshops with renowned artists.

Vinita works with soft pastels and has recently started working with Acrylics. She enjoys the spontaneity and vivid colors of the medium. She is influenced and inspired by the works of Impressionists, especially Edgar Degas, Van Gogh and likes to work in a free and spontaneous manner.
