As an Asian Indian girl growing in India, I am expected to get a MD, PhD or MBA. Worst, as an IB student I did pretty well in math and sciences. But finally my american roots made me follow my passion for studio art by my junior year. 

So here are my recent work pieces! I have three collections: Relationships, Nature's Treasures & Spirituality.

 

Relationships: I started my paintings with this collection and is about my attempt to capture human relationships and with surroundings.

Nature's Treasures: This collection is my attempts to use different art techniques and mediums to recreate nature's beauty around me.

Spirituality: Our spiritual relationship with the Universe. Influence of my Hindu upbringing.
