Hand-Painted Folk Art & Custom Decor Commissions
Explore my collection of hand-painted Gond, Madhubani, and Pichwai works, custom glass art, and detailed murals designed to add colour and personality to your home.
This is one of my proudest projects, a custom set of 20 individual Gond art paintings for a client in the USA. It shows the scale and variety I can bring to a large commission, creating a vibrant collection of Indian folk art animals and motifs to bring a touch of India to any home.
My 2025 Desk Calendar is here. This is the 4th year I'm creating these, and this edition combines three of my passions: florals, musical instruments, and intricate mandala patterns. It's a piece of art for your desk, with a new design to enjoy each month.
I love creating custom nameplates that reflect a family's personality. This "Gokulam" nameplate features a Pichwai-style cow and lotus details on a rich green background, complete with little hanging bells for a charming touch.
The "Tree of Life" is a powerful symbol, and this is my take on it in the Madhubani style. I used a striking combination of brick red and shimmering gold that really catches the light, with intricate patterns filling every leaf and branch. This original piece is available for sale.
This piece is from "The Moo Project," where I explored my love for cows through different folk art styles. Here, a serene Pichwai cow rests among lotus flowers, painted on a glass base to create a beautiful, luminous effect.
My art isn't just for walls. I create functional items like these Gond art coasters, which were part of a large bulk order for wedding favors. Each coaster features a different hand-painted animal design, making for a unique and memorable gift.
This piece is made from real pressed flowers and leaves I've collected during my travels from Bali to Bengaluru. I arrange these natural keepsakes into a delicate, lasting bouquet, preserving a little piece of nature's beauty.
About this collection
I work with everything from glass bottles and solid wood to digital illustrations, blending traditional Indian styles with a modern twist. Just a quick heads-up before we start planning your project: I’ll paint absolutely anything—nature, intricate patterns, animals, even musical instruments—but I don’t draw faces. That is just where I draw my own line.
Art is my therapy, and I love creating pieces that feel personal and vibrant. My work spans across various mediums, including weather-treated wooden nameplates, heat-resistant glass lamp chimneys, and original canvas paintings. Whether you are looking for a statement wall mural or a smaller gift like hand-painted coasters or bookmarks, I handle each piece with the same attention to detail.
If you have a specific idea in mind, we can discuss the style, colours, and dimensions before I begin. I often collaborate with other artists, including my mother for embroidery details, to bring unique textures to life. For custom commissions, I provide digital layout approvals so you know exactly what to expect.
My studio is based in Bengaluru, but I ship these hand-painted works globally, including to the US and Germany. All functional decor items, such as nameplates, are sealed with protective varnish to ensure they last. If you want to see my latest experiments—like the 'Moo Project' featuring folk-style cows or my pressed flower collages—feel free to reach out. I am always happy to chat about wild or simple art ideas to brighten up your space.
