The gallery is excited to feature Myrtle Beach artist Debanjana Bhattacharjee  as the Spotlight Artist from Feb. 1 through March 29. Born in Mumbai, India, Debanjana moved to Myrtle Beach, SC in 2015 from Texas. She holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Mumbai and a post graduate diploma in computer applications. She also has a post graduate diploma in Modern and Contemporary Indian Art History from Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai. Her artistic practices are a blend of her Indian and western aesthetic sensibilities.

In 2015 Debanjana was recognized with a proclamation from the Mayor of Edinburg, Texas for her artistic (painting and sculpting) achievements. A self-taught artist, she works in acrylic, oil and gouache. In 2020 Debanjana was the curator for Twitter Art Exhibit (now called Postcard Art Exhibit) in Myrtle Beach. She has earned numerous awards and honors, including 2024 Artfields, Lake City, SC; juried 2023 Piccolo Spoleto; 2022 Seacoast Artist Guild Fall Show, third place; and more. She says, “I am a plein air artist trying to capture those fleeting beautiful moments outdoors. My paintings are my instant reaction to the scene.”
