Artist Statement: 
My work is a constant push and pull of seemingly opposite forces and the search for the underlying harmony of our common human experience. I grew up in India, a dynamic world of vivid color and design. Rooted in India, I have lived and thrived in the US and Europe my entire adult life. My formal education is in Textiles, English Literature and Printmaking. My art is a joyful self expression that uses my hands, my inner life, and my experience of the physical world to create something new. As a printmaker who also makes handmade paper, and works with textiles , I am influenced by the complexity and traditional Indian approach, the spare Scandinavian sensibility and the experimental American approach that inform my unique use of color, space and form. My mixed media paintings and my collages are a vehicle to explore these diverse and seemingly disparate forces, revealing their underlying harmony.

I am done when my work sings.
