Art and design, prose and poetry were my passion from the earliest of my days that I can recall. I explored art as a curious teenager, and those early inquisitions have shaped me into a keen observer that I am today. I later spent many prime years of my life in Engineering and in IT profession, only to finally give in to my life’s calling – Fine Arts. It felt like homecoming when I did so, and I have ever since enjoyed taking on different subjects to paint my thoughts. I dabble in watercolors, acrylics, and charcoal, with watercolors being my all-time favorite as I continue to be smitten by the translucency and fluidity of the medium. My plein air paintings of Bengaluru, rustic Hampi series paintings, rusty Vintage Automobile series, paintings of busy Bengaluru’s lost Sparrows, paintings of languid elephants of the wild, paintings of forests and vibrant people portrayal have been very well received at various forums in India and across 12 countries overseas. With gratitude to my patrons, I would like to share here, that Im a recipient of MSME Women Entrepreneur Award (2020), BBMP Kempegowda Award (2012), and have been short-listed twice for the State Award - Karnataka Lalit Kala Academy Award (2014, 2018). My work was also selected for International Watercolor Society-India Biennale (2018).
