Suhita Shirodkar has been a part of the Urban Sketchers community since its inception, and has been an instructor at almost every annual Urban Sketchers' Symposium since the beginning. She's a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and Suhita travels the world teaching workshops with Urban Sketchers and others. A native of India, once she discovered the magic colors and chaos of Mexico, she knew she wanted to explore the country more, as it reminded her of home.

Suhita Shirodkar is an illustrator and an obsessive sketcher and traveler.
Originally from India, Suhita attributes her love of color and her fondness for drawing people to growing up in the bustling metropolis of Mumbai. She has been an instructor at the last six Urban Sketchers Symposiums and teaches sketching workshops in sketch journaling and urban sketching. She now lives in San Jose, California. Suhita loves Mexico and visits often. She loves capturing the color, vitality and the culture of the land in her sketchbooks. Oaxaca has a special place in her heart: it was here, 10 years ago, that she first captured her travels in a sketchbook, and it's how she has travelled ever since. Suhita is excited to teach and share with you the joy of and practice of travel sketching: from drawing the unique architecture of the city, to capturing people and traditions; from painting the pyramids at Monte Alban to the bustling markets in Oaxaca, we will sketch our way through a wonderful Oaxacan experience together! |

She has rallied the sketching community to become a Regional Chapter of Urban Sketchers in 2016, and is a current administrator of the group. She began to travel with her sketchbook, and upon her return home, friends would see her sketchbook and say, "I want to go with you!"
