Koshaley, a Dallas-area artist who works largely in a non-objective style, is strongly influenced by her faith and her Indian heritage.

“Koshaley does spiritual chanting during her creative process as part of a spiritual direction while applying pigment to the canvas,” said Julie Shipp, director of The Art Gallery. “Her approach has been shaped by a rootedness in Hinduism’s music, mythology, and symbolism as well as with the West’s mostly secular conversation with painterly abstraction.”
