Artist Statement:
Painting for me is a means of
creating, of experimenting and
exploring different media.
Having lived in the UK, US and
India, I feel that my art is a
blend of the East and the West
and reflects my own
individuality . Since I first
delved into the world of art
20 years ago with a watercolor
class in the US, I have
evolved as an artist. I no
longer stick to conventional
methods and techniques that
have been taught to me through
the years but create whatever
my mind has in store for me.
All of my paintings result
from my ongoing inner search
for spirituality. It is a path
that began with yoga,
meditation, subsequent lessons
in Sanskrit and the philosophy
of the Gita. I have not yet
come close to attaining any
true fulfillment in that area,
but through my art, and in
particular, what I convey - I
am able to explore the many
avenues of existence.
I divide my time between
Bangalore - India, Stockport -
England and California in the
U.S.
My latest paintings are more
abstract than others and
question the idea of life
itself, reincarnation and the
future of this planet.

| Hobbies / Interests |
I love reading and sometimes find myself alternating between painting and writing. I am a published writer of short stories and newspaper articles.
I love travel and just don't get to see enough of the world. I am interested in helping the planet and through meditation I believe we can create a greater consciousness and enlist the help of the universe to better the planet that we take so much from. Afterall don't we want it to be here for our grandkids? |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Art per se came late into my life. My first love was languages and I leant foreign languages with ease and thought I would have a career using them.
I was always creative, whether it be with cooking, flower arranging,sewing or crafts but my painting was a hobby while the kids were growing up. I have taken workshops with many teachers, in batik, marble painting, Mysore painting and watercolours and oils.
Since the eldest left for college a few years ago I was able to spend more time on my art and now I am happy to say not only do I paint, and exhibit, I am also taking a degree course at the OCA in England. With this course I am able to learn about techniques, art history and writing. I think it was a natural progression, but I needed to be a mom first and that is something I loved. |
