Sen's exhibit consists of watercolors and photographs, with nature's recurrent theme: winter trees, spring blossoms, fruit, water, clouds, a night sky.

"I think of my work as a process," Sen said. "I like dynamic composition, rich color harmonies and contrasts, expressive line and pattern, texture.

"Inspiring me are traditions of early European art, Impressionism, abstract art and Eastern symbolism," she said. "I enjoy exploring the infinite complexity, vitality and mystery of the natural world."

Sen holds a master's degree in art history, South Asia studies, from the University of Pennsylvania. As a UNESCO scholar, she received the Certificat in French Language and Civilization from the University of Aix-en-Provence, France. She also graduated with honors from the University of Bombay.
