Smita Upadhye

Born in Mumbai, India and received art training from renowned institute of Mumbai Sir J. J. School of Art. For many years I have painted in water colours, oils and in acrylic. I found acrylic is the fastest working medium. As for the subject, I enjoy painting flowers, landscapes, faces, animals, fruits basically aesthetics of nature. Nature is full of colours and textures and it’s a challenge to an artist. Capturing the minute details of texture and different colour shades is my passion. I moved with my family to New Zealand in summer of 2000 and got fascinated by the bloomed flowers and colourful gardens everywhere in Auckland. It was a feast for my passion of drawing & painting flowers. To bring out the texture of a subject I like to experiment with different techniques. I was very happy when I received Best Acrylic painting award and 2 cash prizes for my Paua painting. The unique Paua shell is the challenge to paint due to its changing colours as per light. I have won prizes for my paintings and artworks in New Zealand as well as in India. My paintings are in collection of commercial and residential premises in NZ & in India. I am a member of Waitakere and Titirangi artist group.
