About Srimati's Art
All of Srimati's paintings are inspired by Divine Femininity and her experiences in self-realization as a biological woman. Themes in her art, books, and writing include motherhood, Divine Union in sacred marriage, menstruation and womb connection, yoni steaming, Feminine potency, Feminine wisdom, and Divine Feminine awakening. The Goddess is woven into each piece of art she creates. Her art style is whimsical and playful, embuing rich color and expressive depth.
Srimati uses acrylics, watercolors, and gouache paint on canvas and fine art paper. She also utilizes pen and ink and digital illustration for the creation of her coloring book art. She enjoys playing with fabrics, yarns, and dried flowers and paints to create ceremonial art pieces that she utilizes in her spiritual work. As a Lady of the House, Srimati enjoys crafting beautiful pieces that have multi-functional use in sacred ceremonies and as home decor.
Srimati as an artist enjoys sacred seclusion to focus her creative energy into her work. She takes deep dives into seclusionary meditation and ceremonial rituals to create all of her art, books, and offerings.
