Vasant Nayak
Having studied communications media in Mumbai, India, after earning his B.A. in sociology / anthropology at St. Xavier’s College, Vasant Nayak gained extensive experience with photography and media in India prior to coming to the United States to earn his Master of Visual Arts Degree from Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana.
Before the years when his talents were given full time to an online venture, Vasant Nayak had a career as a professor, digital artist, and photographer. He created and directed a master’s degree program in digital arts at the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland; one of the first of its kind in the U.S.
India remains the source of his inspiration, and each trip there is a time to collect articles and images that will be used in art-making when he returns to the U.S. It is also a time to refuel his creative being and to restore his soul. Vasant says, although his body resides in the United States, his soul dwells in India, and his mind traverses between the two.
