Niharika Jetty is a self-taught artist currently based in Columbus, Ohio, USA. She has received no formal art training; everything she creates is through her own trial & (most importantly) error.

Niharika graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Cell Biology & the intention of becoming a doctor. After a reevaluation of her life, she changed course drastically. Throughout life’s every up & down, art and her love for it have been the only constants.

This innate passion journeyed into exploration, as she continues to hone her craft through a diverse array of influences, from the Old Masters to modern visionaries. She does mainly traditional oil paintings in classical realism styles.

From fairytales to wildlife, her work aims to portray dreamlike scenarios onto the canvas. She is continually inspired by her heroes such as John William Godward, Maxfield Parrish, Emile Lecomte-Vernet & aims to create works that depict the ethereal & nostalgic feelings fostered by historical & classical art by the Old Masters. Her biggest heroes however, remain her family & friends, who’s continual love & support motivate her every day. She invites you to see her works not as a portfolio, but as pieces of herself.

“Our capabilities lie in our beliefs. We are only capable of creating that which we are capable of believing”. - Niharika
