Biography:

Nishita Jain has always been captivated by the way light dances through nature, whether it’s the soft glow of a winter morning or the golden hues of a summer sunset. As a Maryland-based watercolor artist, she draws endless inspiration from the open skies and varied landscapes around her home, weaving their quiet beauty into her paintings. Her work often embraces an atmospheric quality, focusing on the interplay of light, shadow, and mood to evoke a sense of place and emotion. Her expressive brushwork and skillful use of a limited palette further enhance the ethereal nature of her art, inviting viewers to pause and find calm in a busy world.

Her artistic journey has been marked by notable achievements. In 2024, her painting "Towards the Old Footbridge" was shown in the 25th Annual American Impressionist Society National Juried Exhibition, and "On a Higher Plane" was selected for the 104th International Open Exhibition of the National Watercolor Society. Her work has also been featured in Artists Network's Splash 24, where "Winter’s Swan Song" earned an Honorable Mention.

Her work is regularly exhibited and available for purchase at the Artists' Gallery in Ellicott City. She is a signature member of art societies like the American Society of Marine Artists, Baltimore Watercolor Society, and Philadelphia Watercolor Society.

At its heart, Nishita’s art is about connection—connecting with nature, with memories, and with the quiet beauty that surrounds us.

BWS maintains a workshop and program waiting list once the event is filled. If registrants cancel, BWS fills the openings from the waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. There are often cancellations, so it is worthwhile joining the waiting list.

BWS adds names to the waiting list according to the date and time.

You can't join a waiting list before registration opens.

Waiting List registrants - Do not send payment until you are informed of an opening and have been sent an invoice. Any check sent before you have been informed you have a spot will be destroyed.

In addition, cancellations incur processing fees and other costs paid by BWS as well as requiring extra time and organizational effort. Refunds for extenuating circumstances are at the discretion of the event coordinator.

In the event of inclement weather, the workshop will still be held unless the Hawthorn Center is unable to open or the workshop instructor is unable to travel. If BWS cancels the workshop, then all paid registrants will receive a full pro-rata refund for those days that were cancelled.
