Sumana Ghosh-Witherspoon
Indian designer, printmaker, and textile artist

After beginning her career in New York’s publishing industry as a graphic designer and art director, she turned her focus to textiles, collage, and surface pattern design, creating work that is both nostalgic and boldly modern. Sumana draws inspiration from memories of India, particularly the vibrant colors, folk art, and patterns of her youth, which she translates into layered, emotive pieces through painting, stamp-printing, and collage. Through her work, Sumana explores storytelling via pattern, memory, and texture, creating art that resonates on both functional and aesthetic levels while reflecting the rhythms of contemporary life and family.
