Soumya Netrabile’s work begins with her investigations in the natural world, specifically with her local forest preserve and the elements that make their home in that environment. While on her daily walks, she is carefully attending to her somatic experience of the world. Using nature as a lens, her paintings weave history, mythology and memory with daily experience and imagination.
