An exhibition of paintings by Sangeeta Weatherly
I come from Hyderabad in India where the sun shines all year round. These paintings are inspired by flowers that represent the sun.
Yellow is a colour associated with the sun. It symbolizes optimism, energy, joy, happiness and friendship. Through these paintings I have tried to capture the energy and vibrancy of summer days, to help us through the gloomier winter days when we don’t see as much sun.
They not only draw your attention but also evoke a sense of happiness and optimism. Yellow is uplifting to the spirits and can awaken greater confidence.
About Sangeeta Weatherley: Art that Connects
Sangeeta Weatherley is a self-taught artist with a background in IT looking for opportunities to spread the joy of colours through her vibrant paintings. She undertakes commissions and runs ‘Art Social/Art for Wellbeing’ workshops which have proven to help people connect with their inner creative. She has a strong a passion for working with people and can lead diverse age groups and abilities.
Born in 1975 in Hyderabad, India, Sangeeta currently lives in London with her family. She has a Masters in Information Systems from Robert Gordon University, UK, and followed a career in IT working for several major international companies. Sangeeta has a passion for the outdoors. On one of her walks, she came across a group of watercolourists and discovered a love for capturing nature through art. Her emphasis is on the process rather than the result, which allows for freedom of expression. This is evident in the abstraction of her recent works.
Sangeeta moved to the UK with her family in 2012. She finds the architecture and nature in London very inspiring. She frequently sketches by the Thames riverside, visits all major exhibitions, and attends workshops to develop her skills further.
Sangeeta explores her subject starting with sketching, photographing and then using a medium that she feels will capture and present her vision, the beauty of that moment, the light and shadows. She’s known for her use of bright colours. It’s a memory that she wishes to capture; her journey that she wants to share, drawing the viewer into that moment. Perhaps they too have a fondness for the subject matter? Perhaps it triggers some lost fond memory?
Sangeeta is keen on experimenting and challenging herself with techniques, colours, mediums and compositions and strives to improve each day. She is currently focusiing on landscapes and florals.
She practises yoga and believes art is a form of meditation. Her vision is to reach out and connect with people through art, to reintroduce the joy of sketching and painting amongst adults who have not dabbled in art since school.
