About Traditional Indian Folk Art

When I work on custom pieces, like the ones designed to be sandwiched between glass for door inserts, I don't just focus on the motif. I consider how the light will hit the glass and how the surrounding woodwork will frame the piece, often experimenting with colours on the fly rather than sticking to a rigid plan.
