Hi
This is my story
I’m Kathamrta devi dasi, a silk painting artist living in the peaceful Krishna Valley / New Vraja Dham, rural Hungary.
Since 1995, I have been creating silk paintings. My artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout Hungary and abroad, earning a few awards along the way.
In 2006, I began creating deity outfits, primarily for Sri Sri Radha Syamasundara here in New Vraja Dham and Sri Sri Radha London-isvara in the UK, as well as for devotees personal Deities around the world.
I had the honor of learning Indian embroidery from the esteemed Brij Mohan of Vrindavan, which has allowed me to blend my unique style of silk painting with traditional embroidery techniques.
I’m available for commission work, and I’d love to create something beautiful and devotional for your Ista-deva or to adorn the walls of your temple / house.
