Amarajyoti lives in Nottingham and trained in Art and Design in the 1960s, attending Sheffield, Liverpool and Leeds Art Colleges. She taught Art for 20+ years in secondary and further education before giving it up to travel to India and Ireland to study Yoga, returning to Nottingham to teach Yoga and Meditation. During this time she continued with her painting which has become more abstract over the last few years.
She has exhibited in several Nottinghamshire exhibitions over the past 40 years and at the Fronteer Gallery in Sheffield in 2021, Surface Gallery Abstract, Nottingham and Cupola Gallery, Sheffield in various exhibitions and as well as several national and international online exhibitions over the last few years. She had a solo exhibition ‘Paintings on Paper – mostly’ in November 2023. She paints in her small studio in Nottingham UK.

''Painting for me is a meditative experience, where I connect with the process of applying, removing and exploring colour, form and texture on a flat surface. It is wordless and physical and each piece evolves from this process of discovery.
Original imagery / ideas may come from my daily meditation practice as ethereal concepts, seeds of possibilities, which then are made whole by the act of painting itself.
Each painting is a journey to bring into being that which is unknown into a solid physical experience.
I have had some major health issues during the last couple of years so some of my work has been exploring these with paint and sometimes ‘mending’ them with gold (Kintsugi). Other works have been about finding balance amidst difficulties, both personal and global.
Colour always features strongly in my work and I often use gold leaf and sometimes jewels (imitation)
Self-portraits are not part of my usual response to life, but I have painted several abstracted versions in response to various challenging diagnoses.''
