/24-7PressRelease/ - February 28, 2007 - Her paintings on a variety of surfaces such as canvas linen, on and behind Plexiglas, have been described as "tactile works that resonate with a quiet harmony" by Manhattan Arts, New York, and "Simply Luxurious" by the Champaign-Urbana News Gazette.
Ramanathan's paintings "exemplify her love of nature as well as the subjectivity of each individual's unique pursuit of happiness. Her painting procedure often entails making mental notes of a scene in nature, including the lighting, colors, and textures. She then uses these impressions in her studio to replicate the subject matter in an abstracted form, using rich physical textures, intense colors, and varied media". Her numerous works have found their way to corporate and private art collection around the United States and Europe. Recent commissions include MGM Mirage, Las Vegas, Indianapolis Museum of Art's "Gallery of the Machine", and Florida International University, Miami, Florida, to name a few.

Currently Art Faculty, department of Painting, at the Indianapolis Art Center Indiana,she is a member of several organizations including the College Art Association, New York and a volunteer and member of the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
