My Artistic Journey: 18 Years of Mural Painting
Painting isn't just my career, it’s my way of storytelling. Here is a look at the evolution of Hopping Hare and the paths my brushes have taken over the last 18 years.
This video is a look back at my journey. From when I first started, I had no idea I would go on to paint 71 wall murals and create 6 installations over 18 years across multiple cities. It's a surreal feeling to see how far we've come.
This post is about the beautiful balancing act of motherhood and art. I've learned that pursuing my passion makes me a happier person and a better mom. It's not about sacrifice, but about finding a balance that allows you to live a fulfilling life.
Here I am with the completed 'Doorways of India' mural. This was a challenging but incredibly rewarding project that we revisited to add even more depth and detail. I'm so proud of what my team and I accomplished.

About this collection
When I started painting, I did not realize how much a simple wall could hold. Every project I take on, whether it is a corporate office in Hyderabad or a home in Bengaluru, gets the same attention to detail that I have refined over 71 murals. If you have a blank wall that needs a narrative, let us talk about how we can turn it into your own piece of history.
Over the last 18 years, my practice has evolved from simple experiments to complex, large-scale installations. When you look at projects like my 'Doorways of India' mural, you see the result of years of refining my technique with professional acrylics and emulsions.
My approach is straightforward: I listen to what your space needs before the first drop of paint hits the wall. Whether it is a corporate office needing a brand-forward installation or a home looking for a quiet, nature-inspired corner, I handle the execution from concept to final varnish.
I work with a dedicated team across Hyderabad and Bengaluru, ensuring that every project is seamless and disruption-free. Because I treat each wall as a canvas for a story, I prioritize longevity and finish by using quality materials that protect your investment from dust and daily wear.
If you are wondering how to start, the process is simple. We discuss the vibe you want, I create the sketches, and we bring it to life. I do not use shortcuts or stickers; everything you see is hand-painted and tailored to the room.
