A letter about love and loss.

@shakshigodawat writes about her father who passed away recently. Her letter is brimming with memories of how thoughtful, caring, kind and affectionate a man he was.

I draw for her a portrait of her father. Although I will never know how he physically was, but from his daughters words I certainly know what he felt like.

Sumedha Sah x @artinindia

Sumedha Sah is a trained architect, a self- taught artist, TEDx speaker, letter writer, children's book maker and sketchbook keeper.

Born and brought up in the beautiful hill station of Nainital her work is inspired by the rhythms of nature.

Six years ago she started a project where she invited anyone to write to her a handwritten letter to which she responded with a original piece of art. Over a hundred people have written to her from all over the world from places like Japan, Poland, Micronesia, UK, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Spain and many parts of India as well.

Every Friday she hosts a 'Friday Soiree' where she invites two strangers for a home cooked meal, and the guests bring dessert. She has been hosting the soirées for the past 5 years.

As an architect, she recently worked on the renovation of the Mysore Rail Museum in collaboration with Ar. Rahul Malandkar for the South Western Railways. The museum remains open to public since March 2020.

She carries her sketchbooks wherever she goes and has been doing so since 10 years.

Watercolour is her favourite medium.

She lives and works out of her studio in Banglore and is currently working on her 9th book.

You can check her work out on her Instagram page @theumbrellabar

@hannahmitth writes to me from Germany about her two children and how she became a mother by adopting her first child and now, against all odds, is on her way to have one of her own.

For her I draw her children. Celestial beings, her sun and her moon. Who danced their way into her life so magically!

My wish for the universe.

So grateful to the universe that my little wish to receive letters is being answered by so many wonderful people from all over the world!

I started the Snail Mail project 6 years ago where I invite strangers to send me a handwritten letter and I send out an original piece of art in reply. So far I've received more than a hundred letters from over 15 countries.

The project is still going strong. Would you like to participate and receive an original piece of art in return to your handwritten letter?

So excited to share with you my new book - Secret life of Indian butterflies, was covered by Mid day Mumbai today!

The book is a creative collaboration between two artists of the @artvillagekarjat community. Amol Pednekar, a wildlife ecologist and a lepidopterist and me.

The two volume book contains 20 butterflies and their natural habitat. It is a colouring book both for adults and for children where each page is detachable and becomes a postcard.

I am very thankful to @gangakadakia without whose vision the book wouldn't have been possible.

DM incase you would like to purchase the book and I'll share the details with you!

@daminirathore is a collector of things. Of smooth river pebbles, feathers of faraway birds, pressed summer flowers and shells found by the sea. In my work I imagine a drawer full of her precious collections. My art is inspired by the art of Golly Bard.
