Knitting Lessons Services in Pittsburgh

From the Business:As a textile designer, she worked in rural India reviving dying techniques and textiles for the first few years of her career. Her quench for knowledge led her to go to England where she worked under Peter Collingwood a contemporary, innovative installation textile artist. This exposure inspired her to go back to art school and explore and experiment further with different newer mediums; techniques and styles; and adapt them as a means to express her emotions. Goulatia approaches her art practice from a 3-D sculptural perspective. In the realm of painting, she works with both conventional and unconventional materials to express her beliefs and ideas. The act of applying color for her is interchangeable with hammering nails, drilling holes and building layers and often incorporating recycled material. Goulatia’s work is often defined by the emotions she feels and wants to evoke. Her work entwines her own personal emotions as if she is passionately invested in the events. Her subject matter is extensively researched and inspired by historical events, landmarks and the indomitable human spirit. On a personal level, Goulatia lost her father to Lou Gehrig's disease and the experience developed within her a fascination with the juxtaposition of the frailty of the human body and the strength of the human mind. These are concepts that constantly influence her artistic endeavors. She has exhibited her works nationally at the Mattress Factory Museum, Pittsburgh Center of Arts, The Space Gallery, The Mine Factory, The Manchester Craftsmen Guild, The Miller Gallery and at Zora Art Space, Brooklyn. In 2007, she was one of the 5 Indian artists chosen from around the country to exhibit in Double Consciousness at the Mattress Factory Museum.Read more
