I am Aprajita Lal, a self-taught artist based in New Jersey, United States. Painting, for me, is an ode to nature—an expression of its infinite beauty and diversity.  I have been fortunate to have my art featured in solo shows such as "Rays of Hope'' at Nomadworks NYC, "Calm in Wilderness" and "Nature's Symphony" in New Jersey.  I am glad to have been featured by "Creative Artist" magazine, "Canvas Rebel" and a couple more.  Through my workshops and classes, both in-person and online, I am dedicated to helping individuals of all ages tap into their creative potential.  Join me on this journey as we celebrate the beauty of the natural world through the power of art.
