Sushma Johari Madan belongs to family of talented and renowned artists and over the years has created a vast collection of paintings and sculptures that are waiting to be discovered.
Sushma’s work is a collection of exquisite artwork that not only appeals to the eyes but also to the soul as each artwork tells a story. India is a land rich in cultural history and traditions that are older than time. Some of the enchanting traditions and stories have been passed on from generation to generation and although the stories are still very well preserved, what we have lost somewhere is the message in that story and ultimately how that message can help us enhance our lives.
Sushma’s artwork helps the viewer make that delicate connection between the beliefs & the stories and the relevant application of the messages implicit in these in our daily lives and how they ultimately all connect with the science of our body.
