WHAT LED ME TO ART
My grandmother and my mother were my biggest influences who guided me towards art. Their love for art and crafts created a happy playful space for me to carry on my own explorations.
These led me to a career in fashion where I learnt more about colors, patterns, textures and how these can affect our thoughts and feelings. The love of patterns and textures is carried forward in my art practice

HOW I CREATE . . .
My art references my daily life and other experiences that are shaping my identity.
I approach it in 2 different ways - Improvisational abstracts and representational
The improvisational abstract collages start out with the found material and colors from it. This is a very fluid process where sometimes the material guides me to a concept or vice versa or it just becomes a visual exploration of available material
My representational pieces come from my daily sketches of fragments of my life where I try to glorify the mundane by finding the hidden meanings and joys in it.
My collage technique and materials address the extensive availability of reusable material.
