I was born in the historic city of Ahmedabad in India. Ever since childhood, the simplicity, elegance, and grace of the people of Gujarat and Rajasthan, the two Western states of India have inspired me. My paintings over the past 13 years have focused on the rich cultural heritage of these two states. From the elegantly dressed royalty to the humble village folk amidst a rustic setting, I try to paint the folklore belonging to the different societies that co-exist in harmony. The composition is simple but more direct, and the bright and vibrant colors are symbolic of the exuberant people. My paintings are a celebration of life through color and form. They try to express the preciousness of life’s ordinary moments, which are usually taken for granted.

Vaidehi has a BCom and MCom in Accountancy and Auditing from Gujarat University. She also has a LLB in Tax Laws. Her paintings have been exhibited and she was invited to design the cover page for the Red Wheelbarrow Literary Magazine. She is a freelance artist specializing in oil on canvas. She lives in the Bay Area with her husband and two beautiful children.
