Shruti Ghatak

Shruti Ghatak is an artist and educator based in Seattle, WA. Her practice bridges large-scale figurative painting and terracotta relief sculpture, exploring themes of mythology, migration, and identity. By reimagining mythic narratives through contemporary diasporic experience, Ghatak creates works that blur the boundaries between mythic and everyday life.

Her reliefs, hand-built and carved from terracotta, extend her pictorial language into the sculptural realm, engaging viewers through tactility, memory, and transformation. She was born and raised in India and received her Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting from New York Studio School, NY and an MS in Organic Chemistry (specialized in Color technology) from Institute of Chemical technology, Mumbai, India. She has an interdisciplinary background and studied both Science and Art with the belief that crossing boundary sometimes open up new way of seeing.  

Ghatak’s work has been covered in exhibition and media nationally and internationally, and continues to expand across painting, sculpture, and installation, inviting audiences into spaces where myth, material, and lived experience converge.
