Shikha Bajaj is an artist based out of Plano (Texas), working mostly with Acrylic Paints. She trained in India as a Fashion designer at the prestigious National Institute of Fashion Technology (New Delhi). After working for a few years in the field of fashion, she took a break to raise her two children.
She got the opportunity to go back to school and work with the accomplished international artist, Nora Dorfer. Nora has had solo exhibitions in several southeastern states as well as in Germany. It was while training with Nora, that Shikha developed her personal artistic style. Over the years, her work has moved between purely abstract to very often non-objective.

Shikha favours non objective abstract art over realistic paintings, stressing on the balanced composition of colour and form to communicate her ideas. Themes such as nature and the spiritual are consistent undercurrents in her works, although the casual observer will be hard pressed to see any recognisable symbols.
Another consistent aspect of her work is the use of multiple canvases to tell a continuing story. Several works, such as Elements, require the four canvases to be seen together to understand the meaning of the various transitions, and how the contrast is created between different forms and colours. Shikha is a part of the Plano Art Association.
