About Vinod Dave

Vinod Dave was born in Chital, a small town in India. He earned BFA and MFA degrees in painting from the Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda, India in 1976. In the early nineteen-eighties, he moved to the United States and earned yet another MA degree in mixed-media at the University of South Carolina. New York City then became his new home. He divides his time between India and the United States, the locations where the majority of his art is exhibited.
