Kalyani Adusumilli

Kalyani Adusumilli is an attorney, author, and poet. The Invisible Canvas is her debut novel. She is also the creator of The Happy Wildflower series, collections of reflective essays and poetry that celebrate authenticity and the quiet strength of living with intention.

Born in Southern India and later moving to the United States, Kalyani first pursued a career as an epidemiologist before earning her law degree and practicing as an attorney. Her lifelong passion for storytelling eventually led her to devote herself more fully to writing. Her work often explores identity, generational complexity, and the resilience of women navigating silence and stereotypes.

Through her writing, Kalyani seeks to foster empathy, break cultural barriers, and offer readers a sense of connection and hope. When she isn’t writing, she can be found lost in a book, traveling the world, or enjoying time with her husband and two children.
