Meet Indu Varma

I am a creator - an artist who thrives on creating art. As a multimedia artist I love to paint, shape the clay in various sculptural and functional items, make prints. My art is influenced by my Indian heritage and culture since I was born and brought up in India.

I moved to Canada in 1969 to Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, which continues to be my home.

Life throws us enough challenges. We need to rise above these and have high goals for ourselves. I believe that courage, determination, strength and perseverance that we have within us is far greater than any challenge that we are faced with.

So, you see, through the visual language of images I paint/sculpt stories that you can connect with at an emotional level and feel uplifted.

I love exploring, experimenting, learning new techniques and working with a variety of media. Creating art is my passion. If today were to be the last day of my life, I would still want to create art. It is the connection to my soul, which is expressed through colours and textures and shapes on paper, canvas or clay.

I am a lifelong learner. After a 37 year long teaching career, I went back to University to take visual arts courses and in 2016 I graduated with a visual arts degree from Université de Moncton.
