Rina Banerjee (born 1963) is a Manhattan-based artist. Banerjee's work has been exhibited at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and other notable museums. In 1963, Banerjee was born in a Bengali Hindu Kulin Brahmin family in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in the Indian state of West Bengal.[1] She grew up in London and New York,[2] and has lived in the United States ever since. Banerjee has mentioned in interviews that the inspiration for her art comes from her childhood memories of visiting her grandfather during his homeopathic treatments. Many of the images and visuals from her visits with her grandfather have stayed with her and can be seen in her art work. She likes her artwork to be not static, but ever changing.[3] She has an MFA in Painting and Print Making from Yale School of Art, Yale University. Banerjee's bachelor's degree was in Polymer Engineering, graduating in 1993 from Case Western Reserve University, Ohio.[2]
