More About The Exhibit and Artist

The Arrival
Timeless, seamless and interconnected,
we stand together at the rainbow bridge. Holding one another.
Being one another.
Being in Union intertwined in the tapestry of life. Answers only to be revealed to those who seek, and are ready for their
true arrival.

Painted expressions of Nohi have the potential to heal and awaken dormant aspects of one’s DNA at a subconscious
level for the ones who are willing to be enveloped by these color-, sound- and light-coded messages that live beyond.
Nohi (Vidhi Mehrotra) grew up in a culturally rich household in India where Sufi and Hindustani classical music echoed
through the halls and colorful textiles adorned the walls. Nohi was inspired at a very young age by the artistic world
which surrounded her. The quintessential rich color palette and textural quality of the Indian textile, in addition to a deep
appreciation for classical and Sufi music nurtured by her family, are also an inextricable part of the work she creates
today. She is also a ceramist and a yoga instructor.

Curator, Kristin J. DeAngelis met Nohi several years ago through a common friend. She visited her studio and was
enraptured by the music that she heard in her mind when observing her work. She was completely taken by the colors
and movement. This is the second time curator and artist have worked together. The first being International Women at
107 Bowers Gallery & ArtSpace in 2019.

Nohi’s paintings are in private collections in Istanbul, New York City, New Jersey and Delhi. She is a recipient
of many grants including the 2017 Xavier Gonzalez and Ethel Edwards Travel Grant. Nohi had her first solo show at
Monmouth Museum, NJ, in 2018. She was recently featured in the documentary “Dialogues with Zuleyha,” in which she
paints live in a healing workshop held in Selcuk, Turkey, while a pianist plays music to heal the audience.
