Ranmi Joshi

My artistic journey began in childhood, influenced by my mother and grandmother, both artists. Their encouragement gave me the freedom to experiment with colour and different mediums, shaping the foundations of my work.

Having lived in Sri Lanka, Zambia and Kenya before arriving in the UK in the 80’s, my paintings are often inspired by memories of these places, but also by nature and my everyday surroundings. I studied English Literature at University and find descriptions of landscapes and natural light found in literature and poetry fascinating.

Working mainly in acrylic on canvas, I paint oceans, woodland scenes, rising and setting suns, and seasonal landscapes, using colour and light to evoke a sense of harmony and peace. As my work continues to evolve, I have been experimenting with a blend of abstraction and realism. At BEAT 2026. I will be displaying my recent work on canvas and in frames, alongside greetings cards featuring my artwork.
