“Landscapes, Flowers Architecture & Abstraction”

My paintings are rooted in nature — landscapes, flowers, and abstract interpretations of the world around me. Through color, shape, and texture, I explore how a place can be felt and remembered. Each piece is a quiet reflection of connection and memory. While nature remains my main subject, I continue to explore new directions and styles to keep my work fresh and exclusive.

"Material, Texture & Play”

My mosaic work is driven by curiosity and creative challenge. I follow what excites me — sometimes it’s a subject that speaks deeply, other times it’s the thrill of trying a new technique or material. Whether realistic or abstract, each mosaic becomes an experiment in texture, color, and form.”

 Ethnic Art

"Rangoli, Gond, Warli & Mandana Symbolism”

Ethnic art has been part of my life since childhood. I practice and teach Rangoli and traditional tribal art from India such as Gond, Warli, and Mandana. These art forms are deeply rooted in storytelling, symbolism, and the beauty of nature. I use these traditions to create contemporary expressions of identity and connection

I also specialize in Henna art, which is featured on my Home Page

My Art Practice

"Through every brushstroke and motif, I tell the story of place, pattern, and tradition. My work spans mosaic art, painting, folk traditions, and textile design

each rooted in beauty, memory, and culture."

Textile

 Batik & Stylized Patterns”

In my textile art, I use traditional Batik techniques — applying wax and dyes or paints to create intricate, layered designs. The patterns are often drawn from my Henna and Rangoli background, stylized with a modern eye. These textiles carry both cultural memory and contemporary form, connecting craft with design.”

 Optional addition later: “Some of these patterns are also part of a design library I’m building to use for fabric printing and future creative projects.”

Drawing

" Henna & Rangoli-Inspired Line Work”

My drawings are inspired by traditional Henna and Rangoli designs. I use stylized line work, intricate patterns, and symbolic elements rooted in South Asian culture. These forms are a visual language I've practiced since childhood — evolving into contemporary interpretations that reflect my heritage and personal journey.

Many of these symbols are also featured in my published book on South Asian symbolism

Community  Projects

" Collaboration & Storytelling”

Community art is a way for me to connect with people through shared creativity. These projects are often guided by the goals of organizations, juried selections, or grant opportunities. I design works that reflect the community’s voice, blending traditional symbols with collective stories to create something meaningful and inclusive.
