I am a self-taught artist based in Ashford, Kent, originally trained in dentistry. I returned to painting in 2020 to reconnect with creativity and storytelling, and what began as a personal sanctuary has grown into a practice I now share through exhibitions and community events.
Inspired by the colour and playfulness of my Indian heritage, I reimagine folk influences through a modern lens. Working in watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media, I create vibrant, symbolic pieces that explore identity, memory, relationships, and connection with nature.
My portraits celebrate everyday moments—laughter, joy, and feminine strength—turning them into meaningful, emotional stories.
Art continues to be an evolving journey of healing and connection for me.
