About the Artist
Kamlika
Kamlika began her journey of art as a child however it wasn’t until 2011 when she committed herself full time as a professional artist. Kamlika is a self taught artist who has engaged in extensive research, self study, art history and education. Over the years she has trained with the masters of the academic & classical tradition in USA and Italy. She switched careers from being a full time leadership and organizational development expert for large corporations and research in psychology to doing it part time. She believes that her education, work and life experiences help her become a more insightful, engaged and impactful artist and consultant.
Her early training began at the historic Pallette & Chisel Academy of Art in Chicago where she was acquainted with the works of the old masters and thier techniques. She was able to transition into research and self study understanding the power of the limited palette, master copies, and establishing a studio practice working from life under the northern light.
In 2013, she apprenticed with Mark Carder in Austin, Texas (renowned portraiture artist who has painted several presidents and other dignitaries) who opened up the window of the world of art for her. He focused on understanding color groups/value range and painting meticulously and thoughtfully using the tiled brushtroke approach. His generous and invalunable methodologies and painting techniques have been a bedrock for her later, more classical and traditional training.
In 2016, Kamlika found an affinity with the atelier system (classical French academic training) and the principles of traditional art. The methods and techniques of the old masters filled that void and gap she was experiencing in her understanding and practice of fine art. Eversince, she has been very fortunate to have learned (and continue critique of her work) with the finest masters such as Adrian Gottlieb, Jura Bedic, and Stephen Bauman. She has also attended classes and immersive workshops with Sadie Valeri Jeningan, Juliette Aristides, Cornelia Hernes, David Lefell. Her earlier teachers were William Schnieder, Jim Hajicek, Clayton Beck and Stuart Fullerton. Kamlika is currently learning sculpture with Eirik Arnesan but has previously attended immersive training at The Florence Academy of Art (Italy) headed by Eran Weber. She has also studied Ecorche and Sculpture with James Shoop in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Now, Kamlika follows her muse without bounds and paints narrative compositions as a means of effective story-telling, florals, portraits, figurative art, landscapes, as well as thematic art. She has won several awards and publications in both local and national magazines for her soulful representation of her subject matter. She enjoys teaching classical art in her studio in Edina and across the country/at private institutions (moved from California recently) and continues to showcase her work across the globe. She hosts immersive workshops in creative writing, classical drawing, visual expression, traditional methods of painting.
Her non-profit donor wing Musart was established for her commitment to give back to the community and to help many others embark on the courageous and fulfilling journey of creativity.
She is grateful to her collectors across the globe for giving her the opportunity to create art for thier homes, workspaces and loved ones. Her supporters, patrons, students, followers and friends have made this journey of art meaningful purposeful, and beautiful.
As she continues this spiritual and creative pursuit she hopes to be counted as one of the finest masters and teachers of art in the books of classical history. Her commitment to changing the social narrative through her work and preserving the classical tradition of art keeps her going.
Kamlika believes that excellence is an endeavor of continuous learning, discipline and commitment and that no greatness is ever achieved without vision and perseverance.
