Self-taught in painting and other Indian traditions, Pande is a rostered Folk Artist with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. Pande has a Master’s Degree in Biology from Agra University and conveys her love of nature and living things in her bright colors and patterns. Through her work as president of Indo-American Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania and through her community art workshops for organizations around the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, Pande has demonstrated her passion for community based cultural education.
