My Story

I’m Girija, words spill out of me - sometimes it’s just tears. My mind races, my body’s always catching up. Never had it easy, life’s a wild ride, but I’ve always had love. My sisters, my friends, my partner of 17 years, and my daughter - watched her grow from a tiny preemie to a fierce, kind adult. My mom was my first home, poured love into me. When it’s all too much, I run off to Tiruvannamalai, or float in a river. Water holds me. Still searching. Jai Bhim 💙

My Work

Murals, illustrations, and workshops - I make political mural art, book illustrations, portraits, and run gender violence art workshops.

Art as activism - My art starts tough conversations - about gender, child abuse, society. Truth is art for me.

Process over perfection - I let the paint lead, focus on energy and likeness. Expressive portrait painting, never just realism.

Art for NGOs and families - I work with NGOs, collectives, and make commissioned family art that lasts beyond us.
