Padma and Ashika’s Embraceart Studio is nestled in the serene landscape of the Macedon Ranges, northwest of Melbourne, Australia. Their respect for nature’s rhythms and love of the local landscape inspires all their creations. Padma paints on canvas and screens, while Ashika sculpts in stone. For both, the process of creating is at the heart of their lives and they feel it is a meditation in itself. They experience the development of new artworks as a mystery and a revelation, where subtle changes manifest not only on the surface of a piece, but within themselves.
