Namita Jain: Namita has always been passionate about art - in all its forms and media. Before listening to her calling to pursue art full-time, she completed her M.B.A. and worked with various corporates. Real world interplay of shape, forms and colours inspire the artist in her and influence what she creates. Namita is an observer of life and that is what forms the basis of most of her artwork. Though she loves the fluidity and mood of watercolour, Namita does not shy away from experimenting with various media and textures for she feels that an open outlook is what leads an artist to discover their own hidden talents and helps them gain a better self-understanding. She believes that 'anyone can art' and, to help realise this passion, she teaches art to young children and adults through her label 'Shades And Colours.’ Namita lives in Hyderabad, India along with her husband, Gautam and two children, Mehaan and Gaurvit.
