• My art is a study of nature’s quiet intricacies, that distill fleeting moments into patterns carved from memory and light.

Art journey

In 2019, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bindu ventured into art. She enrolled in an art history course offered by the prestigious Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York, and ever since, has begun to dabble in the art of paper cutting, a callback to her student days, during which she experimented with it as a medium. Her art is inspired by the forms and shapes of the botanical world, where she transforms the intricate patterns in nature into millions of cuts on paper. After a surprise encounter with a curator on social media, Bindu initiated herself into the world of gallery shows, with her very first show this year in Mumbai, India. Her art has been acquired by private collectors and is shown in private homes. She also does art commissions, and is working on her next series of framed work and installations.

Bindu Kasinadhuni is a textile designer turned paper artist. Born in India, and currently based in Sarasota, Florida, Bindu grew up enjoying art and craft, embracing projects that involved working with her hands. Her curiosity combined with her skills and talent took her to the one of the premier design schools in India, the National Institute of Design (NID). She graduated with a master's degree in Textile Design and worked in the textile print design sector. Bindu went on to expand her design repertoire in woven textiles with another master’s in Weave Design from the popular Philadelphia School of Textiles and Sciences (now Thomas Jefferson University) USA.

Through her 25-year tenure in design, Bindu has excelled at the nuances of print and weave design on garments and home textiles, working with export houses and heading design teams across the world from her native India to New York City.

In 2010, she started her kids’ clothing brand Chakra Design Studio and for 10 years worked with exclusive hand block prints and natural dyes on handwoven cotton fabrics, promoting the craft of Kalamkari native to her hometown. She displayed her line of simple, sustainable kids’ clothing and textiles in boutique stores throughout Europe and the Americas. In 2011, her brand was featured as one of the best green businesses on popular North American television, and she was subsequently invited to showcase her work at events such as Playtime, NYC, Pitti Bimbo, Florence and Selvedge Art Fair, London.

Bindu had been invited to teach and conduct workshops at her alma mater for textile and fashion design students in garment/print design as well as sustainable forms of clothing construction. She has been a mentor and a distinguished member of the jury for design graduation showcases.
