Drawing isn’t my job, it’s just what I do when I need a break from my corporate routine. Sketching helps me chill out, and nothing beats the moment a graphite memory sketch finally pops off the page. My art is rooted in Nagve, Kankavli, and every year, painting Ganpati murtis is pure magic—आतुरता आगमनाची (waiting for the arrival) is real for me. I believe progress is slow, so I just enjoy every line. ### My work - **Handmade Portraits & Sketches**: I make realistic couple portraits, family sketches, and personal drawings—mostly black-and-white, using graphite and charcoal. - **Custom Paintings & Wall Art**: I create custom anniversary paintings and wall art, choosing paper and tools carefully for depth and emotion. - **Art for Special Occasions**: Most of my work is gifted for birthdays or anniversaries. Seeing smiles when folks unwrap their memories is the best part.
