Original Artworks and Hand-Painted Canvas Pieces
These are the pieces that started in my sketchbook and found their way onto canvas. Each painting is one-of-a-kind, reflecting a specific moment, mood, or traditional technique.
This detailed Ganesha drawing in red ink is a labor of love. Over the years, I have depicted Ganesha on many surfaces, and each piece marks a different stage in my artistic journey.

The process of creating a colorful, abstract Ganesha painting for a friend's housewarming gift. I love creating custom pieces that bring blessings and color into a new home.
I was challenged to paint using only shades of red, so I chose to depict the fierce energy of Maa Kali. This video shows how I used various techniques to create texture and movement.
A fun, textured Ganesha painting created using a unique technique with foam netting. I love experimenting with everyday materials to create unexpected and beautiful textures in my art.

Part 3 of the Kalamkari Tree of Life, where I'm adding lotus and leaf details. I often work without a final plan, letting the painting guide me, which is a process I encourage in my students.

About From My Sketchbook: Original Art for Sale
What you see in these images is the final product, but the real story is in the process. When I paint these, I often work without a final plan, letting the brush and my current mood guide the next stroke. This means every canvas has its own rhythm, with tiny variations in texture or color intensity that you simply won't get from a mass-produced print. These pieces are meant to feel alive in your space, not just act as static decor.
Buying original art is a different experience than picking something off a shelf. When you choose a hand-painted piece from this collection, you are bringing home a tangible part of my studio journey. Whether it is a deep red Kalamkari tree of life or a textured abstract Ganesha, these artworks carry the energy of the time I spent layering, detailing, and sometimes questioning my own choices.
Why Original Art Matters
Original paintings carry character. You might notice the deliberate brush strokes or the specific way acrylics react to the canvas texture—these are the hallmarks of a piece that hasn't been through a digital filter or a printing press.
- Technique: My work ranges from traditional Indian folk art like Kalamkari and Warli to modern, textured abstracts.
- Unpredictability: Because I often paint in stages—sometimes filling large blocks of color to build momentum before adding fine details—every piece evolves during the making.
- Authenticity: I believe art should be honest. I don't hide the imperfections; I embrace them as part of the story.
Caring for Your Piece
I use high-quality acrylics and varnishes to ensure durability, but remember that original canvas art prefers a spot away from direct, harsh sunlight to keep the colors vibrant over the years. If you are looking for something specific for your home—a certain size, a color scheme to match your living room, or a theme that resonates with you—I also take commissions. We can chat about your vision and create something that fits your space perfectly.
The Artist
Hi, I'm a doctor by day and an artist by soul. I paint to find the messy, raw beauty that life doesn't always show us, whether it's a traditional Ganesha or an abstract textured piece. I’m happy to help you pick the right piece for your space, so just say hi.
