Sujatha Elizabeth Balasundaram

I am a visual artist who enjoys a blend of styles. The black and white images are constructed by weaving patterns from Indian folk and tribal art. Some of these visuals are re-imagined as coloring sheets, some are used in Spiritual Direction, and some as conversation starters and graphic organizers. Below these hand-drawn works are digital flyers, book cover designs, and logos.

Line Drawings:
My line work is highly influenced by the traditional Indian Madhubani and Warli-style paintings. Many are used as coloring pages, in art products, for Spiritual Direction, activity sheets, and as conversation starters.
