Shanthi Chandrasekar is a multimedia and multidisciplinary artist from Maryland who has an academic background in physics and psychology, and has been trained in the traditional Indian art forms of Kolam and Tanjore-style painting.

I learned to sew as a child, but didn’t discover the world of art quilts until 1986. Fiber art quickly became my passion. My design and technical skills have been enhanced through participation in workshops at the Quilt/Surface Design Symposium in Columbus, Ohio since 1991. I have been a member of the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery since 2002. My work has appeared in juried shows and many of my quilts are in private collections.
