Siona Benjamin is a painter originally from Bombay, now living in the US. She has to her credit two American MFA degrees, one in painting from the Southern Illinois University, Carbondale and the other in Theater set design from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her work reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. In her paintings she combines the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today, making a mosaic inspired by both Indian miniature paintings and Jewish and Christian illuminated manuscripts. Siona has exhibited extensively in US, Europe and Asia. Recipient of several awards, residencies and grants, Siona’s work has been featured in: The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Jewish Week in NYC and NJ, The Boston Globe, Art in America, Art New England, Art and Antiques, Moment magazine and Nashim-A Jewish Feminist Art Journal, amongst others.
