Art for me is a journey of the soul that never ends. To make this journey beautiful and lively I am painting the path for others to walk on happily.

Born and brought up in India, a land of Art, Culture and spirituality, I got the love for art from my father, who was a great appreciator of my paintings and inherited the love for life from my mother. They both were strong believers of God. My father would sing prayers daily with one of his musical instrument and my mother would perform Hawan daily. And so my paintings reflect a very musical and spiritual feel. The human faces I paint, have angelic expressions. My family was very conservative, so I was confided to my city where I pursued my Bachelor and later Master’s degree in FINE ARTS. My mother always accompanied me when I had to do outdoor sketching and landscapes, she would pack food for both of us and used to read novels while I was busy painting. It always felt like a picnic. Library was my favorite place and I would buy renowned artist’s books and art material with the money my parents gave my to buy things. I was influenced by the Ajanta Paintings in India, which reflects in my work even today. They became my base. The flow and the curves my figures have are very identical to Ajanta paintings. Again they are depictions of God, so I was surrounded with spirituality, which till date reflects in my work and my personality. The two Indian artists that have a massive influence on my work are N.S. Bendre and Amrita Shergill. From the international circle, Cloude Mone’s paintings have also influenced my work.
I got married in 1970 and pursued my career as an art lecturer but could not participate in art exhibitions due to financial constraints. Once my children grew up, I found more time to paint and participate in some group shows in Delhi, India. Later in the year 2002 I migrated to America, which is a beautiful country. I am presently staying in Buffalo, New York. Being here my artistic expression has taken a new turn. Now I am associated with some art galleries and also have participated in group shows and competitions. This is a land of opportunities, so I would want to explore my talent to the max and wouldn’t want to be left behind.
