Bernice Kish Gallery at Slayton House, Columbia, MD
Free admission | RSVP required
What happens when two sisters, one who draws with graphite and another who paints with watercolor, explore the world through their creations? Join us for an illuminating Gallery Talk with Hima and Nishita Jain, the artists behind Echoes of Light & Line, now on view at the Bernice Kish Gallery.
A Rare Look Behind the Art
During this special event, Hima and Nishita will take you behind the scenes of their creative process. Each will share photos of their source material, works in progress, and techniques, offering an intimate glimpse into how an idea becomes a finished piece.
See the Process in Action
Both artists will give brief demos of their techniques live—Hima revealing the precision and sensitivity behind her graphite drawings, and Nishita demonstrating how flowing washes of watercolor can build depth, atmosphere, and emotion. You’ll see firsthand how different mediums can express similar ideas about stillness, reflection, and connection.
Discover Shared Vision Through Different Media
Though their approaches differ, both artists explore how light defines form and emotion. Their conversation will uncover how their distinct practices create a dialogue between structure and spontaneity, observation and imagination.
