About

Art’s my way of making sense of messes, both outside and inside. I believe in using illustration as a tool for change, not just decoration. Every piece I make is charged with what matters to me - radical love, feminism, justice, and heritage. Anbe sivam (Love is God) is the heartbeat behind my work.

What I Offer

• Most of my work is narrative. I use illustration for storytelling, especially for social and political causes. If the news feels heavy, or our democracy khatre mein hai (is in danger), I turn to art as my protest.
• I create illustrations for campaigns, books, films, and reports. Visuals for projects like “Jillu” (a film starring transwomen) let me bring stories that matter into the world.
• My digital paintings are available as high-res downloads. Print and frame them your way – art should be accessible, not stuck behind shipping hassles.
• Open to custom digital illustration for activism or commissions that resonate with themes I care about - but only if it feels right to me.

Themes That Matter

• Feminist art prints about women’s lives, sisterhood, and joy
• Social justice and dignity, always
• Tamil narrative artwork drawing from ancient literature
• Spirituality, self, and a bit of chaos - because life’s like that

How It Works

I draw on my iPad (Procreate, paper-like screen protector for the real feel). You get a high-res digital file, so you can use the art your way. No physical prints - honestly, shipping’s just too much drama.
