Nature in all its abundance is the primary inspiration behind art that I create. There are so many other sources.. people, other forms of art like music, dance, a distant memory or a moment of togetherness that could sow the seed to reflecting it, on canvas. I use acrylics and paint on varied surfaces like canvas, wood, glass, ceramic tiles etc. in addition to creating art with soft pastels, charcoal, colored pencils, watercolors etc.

I am also a crocheter and I enjoy making anything with yarn from little bookmarks to sweaters. Occasionally, I have some fun working on paper quilling and air dry clay projects as well.

One of the most enjoyable experiences for me is creating artworks using seashells that I have collected over the years. The uniqueness of every shell, in terms of color, size, shape and texture is awe inspiring. The beauty of seashells - whole and especially the broken ones, is a reminder to approach life and people from a place of non judgement. I deeply connect not only with the creative spirit in me, but also the child in me, every time I hold a seashell. Exploring human experiences with seashells as a medium helps me pause and appreciate the little moments that make life magical.

Being a completely self taught artist, I find the process of creating art, regardless of the medium, very liberating. Creating art is a journey inward, one of introspection and thereby, self expression.
