July 5, 2021, 8:00 AM - September 25, 2021, 5:00 PM @ Main Gallery inside the Mesquite Arts Center

Deepa’s work integrates nature’s palettes, elements, and patterns that enhance the rhythmic movements within her abstract paintings, reflective of a modern and thought-provoking blend of our dramatic Texas landscape. She finds solace in her new abstract creations influenced by nature and femininity. Deepa’s Art provides a personal silent escape, a necessary kind of silence you need to be still within, that allows all your senses to meditate and embrace her nature-inspired paintings. Please join us at “Ancient Hymns,” a Solo Art Exhibition featuring a new body of work by Deepa Koshaley. She is an established artist living in Dallas, TX. She holds a Master in Landscape Architecture with additional studies in Visual Communication from the University of Texas at Arlington. She also earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree in her native India.
