Hema Sukumar finds inspiration in the vibrant colors and bright hues of the world around her. As a California resident artist, she gravitates toward painting nearby coastal scenes and landscapes from National Parks.

While most of her works are studio-based, Hema also paints en plein air whenever possible. An avid traveler and photographer, she spends significant time photographing beautiful landscapes during her travels. These photos often serve as scenic reminders of the places she visits and later become subjects for her studio paintings. When not traveling, you’ll frequently find her painting colorful flowers and critters from her garden.

“Painting has always been a form of escape for me,” Hema shares. “It gives me a sense of joy, peace, hope, and a welcome break from the daily commotion of our busy lives. Through these impressionistic paintings, I hope to capture the spirit and beauty of the scene with vivid colors and textures.”
