Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of autumn leaves and natural forms, join us at the O’Keeffe Museum’s Creativity Studio to paint your own mini, nature-themed watercolors that will make perfect one-of-a-kind cards for friends and family.

Through hands-on demonstrations of watercolor techniques and compositional concepts, teaching artist Sudeshna Sengupta will show you how to plan and design your watercolor greeting cards into a set or series. All supplies are included.

Sudeshna Sengupta’s career as a teaching artist spans multiple decades, continents, and cultures that inform her pedagogy for decolonizing studio art.

After teaching art and design at the college level in New Delhi, Seattle, and California, she taught at New Mexico State University-Alamogordo, where she established its first intaglio printmaking studio in 1995. Besides the O’Keeffe Museum, Sengupta teaches credit courses with the School of Art & Design of the Santa Fe Community College.

Her etchings and lithographs from the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi have been featured in a landmark exhibition on Women Printmakers of India at the NGMA-New Delhi in India. Her work is in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi; Association Musée d’Art Contemporain, France; Kala Institute, Berkeley, and more.

Sengupta also conducts workshops, short courses, lectures, and community-based art events focusing on multicultural and intercultural experiences that emphasize human, cultural, and environmental connectedness through creativity.
