Biography

Deshpande is involved in promoting recognition of women in the arts. From 2016-2018 she chaired the New Media Relations committee of the Portrait Society of America's Cecilia Beaux Forum.[6] Her articles about the importance of classical training in the arts have appeared in Artists on Art Magazine and on the Cecilia Beaux Forum blog. Her work has been included in several Women Painting Women gallery shows[7][8] and in the Women Painting Women: In Earnest museum exhibition which traveled from the Clarksville-Montgomery County Museum in Tennessee to the J. Wayne Stark Galleries at Texas A&M University.[9]

Deshpande has received recognition for her paintings by the Portrait Society of America,[10] the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club,[11] the Art Renewal Center,[12] Allied Artists of America, and Oil Painters of America.[13] Her work has appeared in publications including Poets and Artists Magazine,[14] Fine Art Connoisseur,[15][16] American Art Collector,[17] The Artist's Magazine,[18] Artists on Art, Artists Network,[19] Southwest Art,[20] and International Artist.[21] Her paintings have been shown nationally in juried and invitational exhibitions in New York,[11] New Jersey,[7] Florida,[22] South Carolina,[8] and California.[23] In 2019, her paintings were shown internationally at the MEAM in Barcelona, Spain as part of the Painting Today – International Women’s Day exhibition[24]. In 2021, she was also included in the exhibition, Women Painting (All Over the World), at the MEAM.[25] Her work is included in the permanent collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art and the Cynthia Graham Hurd St. Andrews Library in Charleston, South Carolina. She is represented by Haynes Galleries in the United States[26] and by Arundel Contemporary in West Sussex, England.[27]

Deshpande's work is included in The Peregrine Collection, "a time capsule to be archived on the moon via Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Lander. Launching 4th quarter 2021 on United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket." [28] Her work appears in four issues of Poets Artists: Issue 100 Figurative Realism, Issue 68/ Goss 183 (2015) Devotion, Goss 183 (2018) Sight Unseen, and Goss 183 (2018) Miniatures.[29] The collection is part of the third payload called Annex 9. It contains art files of 800 creatives on a memory card with space reserved by Dr. Samuel Peralta.[30]

Art

Deshpande works in oil, painting figures, portraits, narratives, florals and still lifes. She often uses chiaroscuro to create a dramatic tone in her paintings.[18] Her work is inspired by John Singer Sargent, and deals with personal allegorical themes.Her depiction of female characters is realistic and focuses more on an internal dialog than on the external beauty of her subjects. Her themes often include playing cards, games, electricity, light/shadows, dolls, children, religion, and the dynamics between people.[31] In The Fall (2013), Deshpande explores darker themes inspired by life and dreams.[32] Using a predominantly warm palette and closely related values in The Fall was a choice Deshpande made to "up" the thematic intensity but also to establish the figure as having an equal part in the narrative as the child's toys. The young girl in the painting is Deshpande's daughter. It is an intimate scene Deshpande imagined one day in the car, but it is also slightly sinister, made all the more so by Deshpande's other inspiration for the painting—a nightmare in which she witnessed a child falling to the ground (that child is represented by Raggedy Andy).[18][33]

In 2016, Deshpande was one of the nine artists, including Mario Robinson, Judy Takács, Laur Tilden, and Terry Strickland, who participated in the Emanuel Nine Portrait Project at Principle Gallery, honoring the victims of the Charleston church shooting. She painted the portrait of Myra Thompson, one of the nine victims.[34] In 2018, Deshpande was commissioned to paint a portrait of Cynthia Graham Hurd to be displayed permanently in the Cynthia Graham Hurd St. Andrews Library Branch in Charleston, South Carolina.[35][36]
