Lakshmi Nallamala

Lakshmi Kakani Nallamala, born in India and raised in Alabama, is inspired by the fullness of life she sees in creation. The process of combining seemingly random pigments to paint beautiful images reminds her of how God redeems broken things of this world and makes them whole.

As a retired radiologist, Lakshmi draws on her medical background to capture light, shadow, color, and movement in her oil studies, and she has been recognized for her outstanding work . She was selected as the featured artist for the 2024 Huntsville Inspiration Home, and she was a National Arts Program Arts in Medicine Juried Show award recipient in 2022 and 2023. Lakshmi was also a semifinalist for the prestigious Huntsville City Hall “Our Civic Canvas” public art program.

Lakshmi serves as an executive mentor for Lincoln Village Ministry which helps under-resourced families in Huntsville. Her artwork sales benefit Lincoln Village and other nonprofit organizations in her community.
