Water colour is like a flow of energy and life to me. To me it is a form of self discipline and celebration at the same time. Controlling the flow of water makes itself a complete guide to self discipline and focus. I am a self taught artist with a passion for water colours. Born in India, I was always attracted to the beauty of vibrant colours and deep hues of the cultural festivals. At the age of five I started drawing freehand looking at various story book pictures. Luckily I was born in a very supportive family. They provided me with all the materials I wanted to explore and never forgot to compliment me on my work, which further motivated me and built in me the confidence to continue.

In High School I received a certificate of excellence in the painting exam. In 2011 I graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Lifestyle Accessories Design. Even in college I would find ways to use water colours. One thing that never left me was water colours. After getting married I moved to the USA and was mesmerized by the beauty of the country. Visiting places like the Smoky Mountains and New Hampshire connected me to my soul on a much deeper level. With the help of my extremely supportive husband my passion for the medium grew even more. Painting is a new learning each day, and I hold a vision of becoming a realistic water colour artist one day.
