About

Surrey artist Priya Seetharaman will share her various artwork styles, including zendoodling, as well as her journey to launching her artwork brand in this talk organized by Surrey Art Gallery Association.

Ever since she was a child, Priya Seetharaman has enjoyed experimenting with unique styles, patterns, and fusion art forms. She loves to incorporate different elements and features in her artwork, making it look three dimensional. Her “zendoodles” showcase this—intricate black and white pen drawings with structured patterns that she often adds embroidered beads, sequins, or pearls to.

In this illustrated talk, Seetharaman will share her various artwork styles, including zendoodling, stippling, line art, and concept art. She turned her artistic passion into a profession in 2018 with the launch of her artwork brand Preesha—The Handcrafted Stories established in India.
