Life inspires me. Everyday experiences, emotions, and happenings motivate me to braid a story and present it on canvas. My thoughts of life and life experiences flow intuitively on canvas, creating space for more.

I use contemporary painting styles to create these paintings. Mixed media is my favorite, when it comes to intuitive creations. Mixed media gives freedom to use different materials and sky is the limit to create beautiful works. When I create, it involves emotions. Processing thoughts, experiences, and ideas, I write down the story in the form of a poem.

Ex: Broken Images

Searching and gathering pieces to make the whole,
I found some parts, parts of the whole, or is this the whole? Whole of a part?
There are many more to find, many more to gather.
Search goes on for parts of the whole. Parts of my Whole.

Though there were spurts of creative cravings when we lived in Chicago (2003-2006), it was in the last five years that I picked up the brush and colors in Brisbane Australia and it not only made my canvases colorful but painted my life with colors of self-realization, and a sense of satisfaction.

Now I’m here again, Naperville, brings back some cherished memories, flowing in the form of colors on canvas. I give them direction to settle down and present them as paintings.

I have showcased my paintings in solo and group shows in Bangalore and Hyderabad in India. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and solace to volunteer and use my creativity for a good cause.
