Nandini Chirimar

Nandini Chirimar was born and grew up in Jaipur, India. She came to the USA in 1987 for further studies. She received her BFA in Drawing and Painting from Cornell University. She completed a summer residency at the Skowhegan School of Art and went on to receive her MFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute, College of Art.

Nandini lived and worked in New York City before going to Japan in 2000. She then spent four years in Tokyo learning Japanese Woodblock Printing from Taika Kinoshita, exhibiting her work and teaching art. She moved back to New York City in Aug. 2004, where she lives now with her husband and two daughters.

Nandini has worked in many media over the years, including painting, handmade paper, printmaking and photography. Currently she is working on mixed media work using painting, drawing, collage, objects and woodblock printing. Nandini's work is a visual ‘journal’ of her life, drawn from her daily practical, emotional and visual experiences. She works with things she comes in contact with and places she visits. She draws from Indian culture and from her different roles as a woman. She is interested in objects, products, toys, cities, houses, feelings and facts, and uses her own experiences with these to reflect everyday life and culture in her work.

Over the years, Nandini has exhibited in the USA, India and Japan, including solo exhibitions in New York City and Tokyo.
