About The Artist
Bemsana is an abstract impressionistic finger painting artist residing in Calgary, Canada, with a lifelong passion for art cultivated at an Indian art school. She fell in love with finger painting after moving to Canada in her thirties, influenced by Iris Scott's work, and practices a scratching technique with plastic cards to produce floral abstracts and nature impressions.
Beyond finger painting, Bemsana creates mixed media paintings that predominantly feature watercolor, drawing deep inspiration from Madhubani art—a traditional Indian folk art form with roots spanning over 2,500 years across India and Nepal. Captivated by its vibrant natural colors, intricate geometric patterns, and distinctive double-line figures, she brings these elements into her own work. Watercolor offers her a refreshing escape from oil painting, reconnecting her with her childhood and the early days when she first discovered this beautiful craft.
