Shobana Udayasankar,a gifted artist, started her pursuit 3 decades ago with oil and water colors. She quickly adopted herself to the Tanjore and Mysore Schools of Arts and reached excellence in a short span of ten years. Her works numbering more than 100 in these two styles without corrupting their traditional form in their splendor and beauty vouch for her dedication and devotion.

Her natural talents were moulded by none other than the   Shri J. Dundaraja . She gets the inspirations from the principles of "Hindu philosophy" and "Divinity" that help her to bring out true flavour representing the divine metaphors both in forms and colours.

Shobana’s paintings are currently in private collections in India. Her dream however, is to revive the traditional genre of paintings, not only as an Art form but also as a means of understanding our deep rooted cultural heritage.
