Hi, I am Haritha Velassini, an artist based in Hobart. My work spans various styles and mediums, and I love exploring different surfaces to bring my ideas to life.

I will be hosting workshops on Kolam painting, a traditional South Indian art form. Typically drawn at the entrances of homes using rice flour. Kolam designs are created by connecting dots with loops, lines, and curves. In my workshop, I am adapting this tradition into a painting format. Beyond Kolam, I create artworks using acrylics, gouache, and watercolors. I do paintings on canvases, watercolor sheets, MDF/wooden bases and fabrics. My go to is botanical and animal illustrations. I also paint and sell my hand painted products like fridge magnets, bookmarks, tote bags, canvas paintings etc. I sell them on online platforms and also take orders through my social media platform.
