how it all began

My Journey

From crayon scribbles to acrylic painting, here are the little and big moments that shaped me as an artist.

    Fell in love with mehendi

    I was just three years old. I wasn't speaking clearly yet, but I already knew one thing I loved mehendi! I would make little dots and my own tiny designs on my mum's hand. And my mum? She would happily let me turn her hand into my little canvas. Looking back, I think my artistic journey began just like that with tiny dots, a little imagination, and a mum who gave me the freedom to create.

    The Spark (My First Artwork)

    My First Diya Batch This piece represents the definitive beginning of my creative expression. At three years old, captivated by watching my mother prepare for Diwali, I insisted on taking over the brush. While the exact intent running through my mind at that age remains a mystery. It stands in my portfolio as a reminder that art, at its core, begins with pure, unfiltered intuition.

    Sold Paintings

    I sold two of my paintings at the Arizona State Fair! One was a jellyfish painting created entirely with watercolor, accented with metallic strokes that give it a beautiful shimmer. The other was an acrylic painting of a dog and a person sitting together beneath the sky, with a heart in the center made from puffy paint to add a fun, three-dimensional touch.
