Sushanta

I have a friend that I must tell you about.  I met her in design school and was immediately impressed by her knowledge of design and her unparalleled excellence in her projects and her work.  I’ve been wanting to blog about her for awhile now, but have just not sat down long enough to do her justice.  But, I decided that I’ve delayed long enough.

Sushanta surprised me on my first visit to her beautiful home.  She asked me if I wanted to see her studio where she does her “work”.  “Of course”, I replied.  Well, to say that I was impressed is an understatement in grand scale.   She is involved in so many aspects of art, design and green design that it is hard to fathom. 

Here is some of the mixed media artwork that Sushanta has done…

Here is some of her photography.  The color and clarity of these photos are so vivid and beautiful.

And here is Kunal, Sushanta’s beautiful (and very handsome) son and Bo.

Sushanta has her work shown on her website ArtnCreation.

Sushanta’s jewelry designs are equally as interesting and gorgeous.  Here is a sampling…

Her work speaks for itself.   Not only is Sushanta a beautiful artist and designer and supporter of world change, but she is a beautiful person inside as well.  I’m so glad to know her and I hope you visit her websites and get to know her a little as well!
