# APRIL UPDATE: Sometime in 2025, once I feel sufficient number of my artwork have found homes, I would be moving towards a more focused art collection capturing my whimsical sense of the living species specifically animals and birds. Stay tuned. #

It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light" - Mary Dunbar. Hello! I am an exploratory artist with experience in different mediums particularly acrylic. My educational background is in engineering and I work in healthcare primarily with medical imaging. I pursue art as a mindfulness activity and as a hobby as it brings me joy. If you have a subject in mind beyond what is present here I would be open to the possibility of painting it given the subject and timelines are within my scope.

Artistic approach

The textures, colors, shapes and forms which the world is comprised of has a great deal of variability. This is seen in the lifeforms, natural landscapes as well as architectural structures. Having lived in India, Canada and the US, I bring into my artwork the combination of (1) Gathered nostalgia from over the years as the beings we are, the beings we know and the places that once existed (2) Subtle imagination for the future of all that will be – spaces and life yet to be explored.

Footnotes: Artwork currently available for purchase is made by me. However I also like to collaborate and learn from other artists. This takes form as accompanying poetry, illustrations, mentorship and myriad other ways.
