About Megasari

Megasari was born in Tabanan on the west coast of Bali.

She studied art at the Institute Indonesian Art (ISI) in Yogyakarta (Central Java), specializing in Printmaking, especially woodcuts.

In Yogya, she met her future husband I Gusti Putu Suteja, a descendant of the famous Ubud artist I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, and now they are live in Ubud with their children.

It is very rare to find a Balinese printmaker, and Megasari's work is particularly interesting because of her use of motifs that seem to echo an ancient Indonesian culture which both Balinese and Javanese people can recognize and respond to. Also the rich texture she produces marks Megasari's work as different from woodcut prints. She normally only makes four or five prints from one woodcut. The print number is written on each print.

Mega's work is now attracting international attention, with her recently being invited to hold a number of shows in Japan.
