  • I am this
    I am this

    "I am this", singular moment, a deep blue expanse, that is part of another expanse; finite within the infinite, of substance and of value. 

  • Texture of sound
    Texture of sound

    Texture of Sound, the in-between spaces; its current and transformation, its materiality and color, the value in the connections it creates.

  • You and I and these flowers
    You and I and these flowers

    You and I and these flowers, in this garden; ecstatic, bright, full of light - how lucky we have been.

  • Anywhere you go
    Anywhere you go

    Anywhere you go, in and out of balance with holding on, and letting go–it’s up to the viewer to decide if the signals are coming together or moving apart.

    Anywhere you go will be exhibited at Drawing Rooms for the In and Out of Balance exhibit:

    Opening Reception date: 10/31/26 Sat, 6-9p
    Meet The Artists Sundays: 11/8/26, 3-5p
    Closing Reception Sunday: 11/22/26 4-6p  

About Neela

Baltimore City  

A practice that has evolved through an ongoing exchange between art and architecture, Neela's work incorporates parallel modes of inquiry—space and form, particles and matter, her work focuses on energy, transitions, and how we perceive the way time is encountered—through a process grounded in observation and iteration, she's developed an evolving work that tests the boundaries between the ephemeral and the defined, the seen and the unseen.

    • Frequencies

    After suffering profound loss, the desire to search for meaning through art became a form of meditation—an exploration of frequencies that are a distinct dynamic imprint in time, and of signals that remain with us.

      Coming and Going displayed at the Maryland Federation of Art's Earl Galley for their juried show, Art in Abstraction — I was beyond thrilled to be selected as one of 34 artists from 367 entries by 118 artists, and to see my work exhibited in such great company of work.

    • Studies

    Using water color pencils to sketch studies for Signals and Frequencies was an important part of processing grief, while also working to give form to emotions.
