I will be away from the gallery between October 6th and October 13th, and so will not be shipping or open for visitors at the gallery. The Indigo Arts website will be active as always. I will respond to emails as soon as possible. I will be able to ship orders after October 14th, 2024.

Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost.

Santoshi Bai

About the Artist

The Baigas are an indigenous tribal community from Central India who believe in living in harmony with nature. They consider the Earth as a Mother and do not practice plough agriculture as they feel it will hurt Her. They are essentially forest dwellers and believe that the Divine Creator created forests to provide everything necessary for human life.  Their origin myths speak of the Divine Creator giving the Baigas special knowledge to live in and off the forest. They lead very simple and non-materialistic lives. Their art on paper and canvas which is a recent phenomenon depicts their age-old reverence for Nature.  (Information courtesy of Minhazz Majumdar).

Santoshi Bai Baiga is 65 years of age, lives in the village Lodha. She paints in her free time.  The paintings of Santoshi Bai Baiga have an surrealistic energy.  She likes to explore modern themes.  She often likes to illustrate Bageswar Dev, the tiger god.
