Artwork by Dr. Sima Pendharkar
Birds of NYC
This is a mixed media paper, pastel and acrylic painting on a 36 inch by 36 inch piece of canvas. Inspiration has been drawn from the urban wildlife that calls NYC home. The push and pull between humans and animals to coexist in a respectful and peaceful manner continues. At times creating beauty, joy and wonder while at other times creating strife and turmoil.
Mission San Francisco
This acrylic, paper, pencil mixed media piece on a 24" by 18" canvas draws inspiration from the mission neighborhood in San Francisco. The artist, Dr. Pendharkar, served as an internist and faculty member at USCF/San Francisco General Hospital for 2 years living in the mission neighborhood enjoying all aspects of experience. The stark contrast of serving homeless populations and other marginalized communities at SFGH while building a tech app interacting with tech executives like Vinod Khosla and more certainly left an impression highlighting the extreme contrasts that can exist in the same moment.
