Inspiration for ME is ME! - Get to know ME
"Each brushstroke becomes a new verse, capturing the poetry of everyday life through the flowing elegance of watercolor."
Thank you so much showing your curiosity to know me!
I am a contemporary realist artist drawn to serene, evocative subjects that celebrate the beauty of India. My work is inspired by a deep connection to nature and the splendor that surrounds us—an experience that goes beyond the literal and taps into something more intuitive and soulful
Watercolor is my medium of choice. There’s something profoundly magical about starting with a blank, crisp sheet of paper and watching it transform into a visual narrative. As a watercolorist, I blend pigment with water, allowing each brushstroke to dance freely on handmade paper. The process is fluid, spontaneous, and deeply meditative—like music unfolding with each flick of the brush.
One of the things I love most about watercolor is its unpredictability—the way colors merge, flow, and surprise you on the paper, often revealing something more beautiful than planned.
My inspiration comes from the places, people, and moments I hold dear. Having journeyed across the diverse landscapes of this incredible country, I continue to find endless sources of wonder and meaning that breathe life into my art.

Artist's Statement
The evolution of an artist is a long, winding journey of creative exploration—and for me, that journey is beautifully endless. Watercolor is my chosen medium, and I’m a 100% self-taught artist. My path has been one of continuous, self-directed study and discovery. This approach allows me to work without rigid expectations or formulas, trusting instinct over instruction. Over time, I’ve developed a style that is simple, vibrant, and realistic—one that flows naturally from brush to paper.
I’m drawn to peaceful, serene places, and I believe that sense of tranquility is reflected in my work. Living in the foothills of the Himalayas, I’m blessed to be just a short journey away from breathtaking landscapes, which never fail to inspire. Nature is not only my subject—it’s my guide.
Art, for me, finds its true worth in emotional connection. My constant aim is to create works that offer a quiet refuge—visual spaces that speak to the soul and offer a moment of escape, reflection, and calm.
Watercolor is a living medium—it flows, moves, and surprises. I’ve learned to let go of rigid control and allow the pigment and water to guide me. My painting process is a conversation with the medium itself: immediate, intuitive, and open to unexpected turns. In doing so, I enter into a relationship with the art that is vulnerable, honest, and ever-evolving.
While watercolor remains my favorite, I also work across a wide range of media—pen and ink, collage, pastels, acrylics, oils, and etching—often blending multiple techniques into a single piece. For over 20 years, I’ve explored how watercolors interact with other materials, including on canvas, creating fresh techniques and textures that expand the possibilities of this extraordinary medium.
Many of my paintings are available as originals, limited edition prints, and even greeting cards. Please feel free to reach out to me for inquiries about pricing, shipping, or commissioning custom artwork.
I’m also deeply passionate about teaching art. In addition to my regular classes and online courses, I conduct workshops and demonstrations in watercolor, drawing, travel sketching, color mixing, and mixed media. I teach individuals from age 9 to 90, and also offer art therapy sessions that use techniques like mandalas and doodling to relieve anxiety and promote mindfulness.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work—I hope it brings a touch of peace, joy, and inspiration into your world.
