Kaveri Raina is from New Delhi (India), she received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Kaveri Raina’s paintings are based on internal dialogues, with words that trigger a feeling or an experience.
Ambika Trasi the panel moderator, is an artist, arts organizer, and writer based in Brooklyn, NY.
