Athira Sanal

Meet Athira Sanal, an Indian artist and educator based in Connecticut, where they bring animals to life with watercolor—and whatever other art supplies happen to be within reach. Their favorite subjects? Their own mischievous cats, along with frogs, llamas (or are they alpacas?), capybaras, and sloths. But sometimes, they branch out into other subjects, just to keep things interesting! Whether it’s a dreamy wash of color or a bold new experiment, their work is all about capturing personality and playfulness.
