Biography

If I am asked to describe myself in one sentence then it is "Art is my life". As a child I was always curious to learn beadwork , embroidery or knitting from my grandmother. I cultivated a hobby of painting through fabric painting 37 years ago, in India. I have a bachelor's degree in commerce.

Along with that, I did home science which also taught me how to integrate art in my daily life. My parents as well as my art teachers inspired me to paint, and with their motivation I always kept my hobby of painting alive. After moving to the States I learnt 'One Stroke' painting and oil painting. Now, I mostly work with oils and acrylics on landscapes and get inspirations from nature. Recently, I have also started painting on glass and ceramic, and 3D Art on fiberglass pots and wood. In the past few years I got very interested in learning different forms of Indian folk art, and I am admiring them more and more with each passing years.

I feel that art is everywhere around you; you only need to learn to appreciate it. I hope to continue learning to LIVE through my passion for art.
