It is rightly said… “Before a child talks, they sing. Before they write, they draw. As soon as they stand, they dance. Art is fundamental to the human expression” – Phylicia Rashād.

 I relate to this quote not only in ideology but also inexperience. I was born an artist. My very early childhood memories are of endless play with colors, colors of any kind. Ever since then, my obsession with colors has only increased. Overall, these years, my interest in painting has evolved from being a passionate hobby to being the very essence of my personal and professional life. This beautiful metamorphosis is clearly reflected in my art pieces and paintings preserved with love from the age of 6 years to date. I owe this hugely to the two most talented artists, teachers, painters, mentors, and my friends for life, my maternal grandmother, and my mother. They have played a pivotal role in recognizing my talent, and have mentored me tirelessly.

​

In my 25 years of zealous and intensive painting, I have explored and experimented with colors far and beyond. Every stroke of a brush that I have pursued has brought new learning to me. Most of my interest lies in painting, paper cutting, and crafting to make gratifying and gladdening art pieces for gifting. I am always eager to calligraph names and paint abstract images, landscapes and seascapes, floral views, and traditional folk art. This passion for creating handmade gifts gave me the instinct to start with Artful Studios in December 2019. A boutique for handmade gifts for presenting them to your near and dear ones. I have realized myself growing with every painting, and I hope to continue to do so for the rest of my life and share my experience with young learners.
