shreyasi das

I am Shreyasi* Das, a multidisciplinary mixed-media visual artist specializing in animation and textiles. My work gently weaves textiles, drawing, painting, found objects, and digital media to create textured compositions, blending abstract and figurative imagery. As a highly sensitive, neurodivergent, and chronically ill Bengali daughter, I practice experimental story-telling and the examination of intimate memories through my materials and craft. I favour memory-soaked materials - thin pages of journals and garments made diaphanous with time - paying deep attention to the stories and textures held within and allowing my work to unfold and guide me.

In 2026, I was a recipient of an Exploration and Research grant from Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, for my project Persistence of Thread (in progress, 2026-2027). In 2025, I was selected as a recipient of the Lenore G. Tawney Scholarship in craft from Penland School of Craft and as a mentee with Women in Animation. I am also an arts facilitator and guide working with local and online communities to build creative care practices (Points Communs, OhHEY Community). I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Animation and a minor in Writing Studies from Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.  

For the last decade, I worked as an award-winning Lighting and Look Development Artist for feature animation films including KPop Demon Hunters, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Seabeast, and Over the Moon, nominated for the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Visual Effects Society Awards, and Annie Awards. I have also been a mentor and have volunteered as a panelist and juror for various film festivals and animation societies in North America. 

I am based in Tiohtià:ke (colonially known as Montréal, Canada) and was raised in West Bengal, India. For occasional insight on what I have been working on, amateur writing on personal creativity and inspiration, please sign up for my Substack Newsletter. To inquire about commissions, contracts, or purchasing my art, please reach out to me via my Contact page. I welcome opportunities to partner with independent filmmakers, cultural institutions, and socially conscious organizations to expand your meaningful impact and to tell stories that matter. 

Thank you for finding me here.
