About

Carol Lea “Chandrika” Steinhardt is an Australian artist.

Her work is a creative response to life and her experience living close to nature – the lush and wild environments where she has lived.

Chandrika’s dedicated arts practice has seen major works completed since the early 90s. From 1992 to 1999 Chandrika was fortunate to be accepted as a protégé of a retired adjunct professor of art from UCLA, which allowed her to develop her own artistic voice and master her style.

She has exhibited in many places, including Vienna (Austria), Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Colombia), Melbourne, Byron Bay, Adelaide and Cairns; with four solo exhibitions, nine group exhibitions and one curation.

During 2001 to 2005 Chandrika was an art teacher at the Kangia Steiner School, Murwillumbah.

In current works, she has allowed time and space for her creative process, and unique technique, to go beyond ‘the usual’ in her personal aspiration to find ‘the more’.

Sharing her findings visually is her way of communicating her experience.
