Fine Art

Painting has always been my passion since childhood, and what was initially a hobby has turned into a passion and an exploration of my dormant creativity since I started to paint regularly only a few years back. With a keen interest in various mediums, styles, and techniques, I love to apply different styles in different mediums of painting, which has helped bring versatility to my creations. Starting from using acrylic skins or inks to rubbing thin oil glazes to create stylized paintings, to charcoal and soft pastel presentations of old masters, I have explored every possible sphere with success, in order to find my favorite medium, only to discover that my pleasure is not limited to one but encompasses quite a few mediums and techniques!

While my interest lies in various mediums and techniques, I must admit that my favorite subject of painting has always been human figures. My creativity has always best been stimulated by figures that tell a story. Little girls in frolic entice me to capture the motion and little joys of freedom. Being born in India and having lived many years in South Africa, the struggles of rural Indian women as well as the culture and grace of native South Africans lure me to paint them in their natural atmosphere. While these subjects stir up a part of my creative spirit, lights and shadows on little things, their shapes, and changing moods encourage me every moment to capture them on canvas.

As stated in the beginning, starting to paint regularly only a few years ago, my progress has been swift, exhibiting and selling my works persistently through art galleries, art exhibitions, and commissions. I still strive to attain new heights in creating my own unique techniques and signature style.

My journey within the sphere of art has inspired me to teach others who are passionate about bringing their own creative spirit to life. So much so, I have ventured into teaching art to children and adults alike and inspiring beautiful creations from them for over ten years.
