Anoushka Mirchandani Selected for BMA Sherman Family Residency
Anoushka Mirchandani has been selected for the third iteration of the Sherman Family Foundation Residency in Maine, hosted by the Baltimore Museum of Art. Originally from Pune, India, where she was born in 1988, Mirchandani currently resides in San Francisco. Since moving to the U.S. in 2006, she has utilized painting to delve into themes of identity and selfhood. Her artwork frequently portrays figures, particularly women, caught in a balance between stillness and movement, with their bodies merging into the surrounding environment using oil stick and pastel. This residency will further her exploration of visibility and cultural displacement.
