Good morning! This was a very meditative tangle for me. SS#4Thank you for the wonderful practice and experience. At 74
years.old sometimes it's hard to do my lines and auras. But this practice is really helping.

About Me

Picture this: a breezy studio by the Bay of Bengal, the scent of oil paints and inks mingling with the salty ocean air, and me—the artist, ocean enthusiast, and mom of two spirited teenagers—caught between creating art and chasing after life’s beautiful chaos. That’s my story, unfolding at my studio in Injambakkam, Chennai.

Art has always been my adventure. I started as a curious self-taught artist, picking up techniques from amazing mentors and master artists during my travels around the world. My work is a vibrant patchwork of these experiences, blending impressionistic styles with rich, joyful colors that celebrate life’s diversity. Since 2011, I’ve had the thrill of exhibiting in juried shows across the USA and India. And 2023? A milestone year—my first solo show at the iconic Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai!
