SAI PRADHAN is a writer and artist.

Her writing is published in many literary journals, the press, and travel journals. She used to be an opinion columnist. Her art has participated in several gallery exhibits and auctions, and is featured in art and literary journals. She also sells it directly to private collectors.

Indian-American, Sai was born in Mumbai, India, and raised there and in various parts of the United States. She is now based in Hong Kong, a long-term home. She has a BA in International Affairs from George Washington University, and an LLM in International Law from the University of Edinburgh. She also studied at the School of Oriental & African Studies at the University of London, took classes with the Rhode Island School of Design and the Insight school of Interior Design, and studied policy and leadership with Harvard’s executive education school.

In the spirit of poet Mary Oliver’s words, “The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time,” Sai decided to give her art both power and time and re-centered it vigorously as a primary pursuit after years of an entrepreneurial and corporate career in in the tech, media, communications, and advocacy spaces in New York, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong.

To Sai, art is born of intentional curiosity, to examine, experiment, process, and communicate; it can be a dialogue that artists participate in and find belonging within. Her style leans to organic movement, incorporation of texture, a play with the flow of paint on various materials, and a sense of lyricism and perspective which readers of her writing might find echoes in.

Sai also channels her affinity for design, photography, and travel, through a visual project called The Particular Rover. She lives with her husband and their three rescue dogs Sophy, Felix, and Wystan.
