Supriya Kharod is a contemporary watercolor artist from Austin, TX (USA).
Taking commissions for Spring 2027 ︎︎︎
Once upon a time, Supriya was an art director at a multi-national ad agency and a freelance graphic designer. But life’s journey led her to pick up a paintbrush, and she awoke to the wonder of watercolor. Primarily self-taught, she continues to paint exclusively in watercolor, and her style is heavily-influenced by her graphic design background.
Supriya was born in India and grew up in the USA. She has lived in the Austin area for 25 years. In 2021, she wrote and published her first book Reflections on Art, Life, and Italy, featuring her impressionist paintings and sketches of Italy, along with reflections on her art process and on life. Supriya is also a second-degree black belt in taekwondo and serves on the City of Sunset Valley Arts Commission. Her Austin prints are carried by Prima Dora in its Austin and Georgetown, TX stores.

Artist Statement
I paint highly-stylized watercolors of iconic Austin scenes and the world around me. I am determined to show that watercolor can be dynamic, contemporary, and eye-catching. As a former graphic designer, I interpret the world by breaking everything down into colors and shapes, and then fit them together to create engaging, eye-catching paintings. I want my viewers to see the world differently than how their eyes normally show it to them.
