As long as I can remember, I have had a passion for art. All I wanted to do since I was five, was draw. My formal education which was in Chemistry led me away from art when I was in school. I started painting seriously again at 25 and have not stopped. I am a self taught artist. I began by reading every book on art and art instruction at the local library. 
Many artists inspire me- Modigliani, Van Gough, Frida Kahlo. Among Indian artists, I admire Ravi Varma, M F Hussein and Millind Mullick.
The human figure makes the strongest visual impression on me. I strive for mystery and intmacy at the same time. The use of intense and vibrant colors makes my art sensual and powerful. I enjoy painting the different facets of a woman.
My mother inspires me to see the strength in character and resilience in women. My father motivates me to constantly keep learning. My husband encourages me to evolve and grow. My son embolens me to achieve anything I want. I hope to continue to grow and evolve. My goal is to create images that capture what I am feeling at the moment.

Thank you for allowing me to share my work with you .
