About

Painting is how I slow down, unwind, and feel at home in my own skin. I’m an architect, but honestly, I find more joy splashing colors than drawing plans. Every piece I make carries a bit of my story, and I hope it adds a spark to yours too.

What I Create

I love turning everyday things into art, especially old glass bottles. They start out as 'kabaad' (junk) and end up as upcycled bottle art, painted with peacocks, monkeys, desert scenes - whatever catches my fancy. Sometimes I use glass paints for a stained-glass effect - think butterflies floating in sunlight, or fish shimmering under water.

Furniture knobs and handles? I hand-paint those as well. The Pichwai-inspired ones with pink lotuses can totally change the vibe of a boring cabinet. I’ve done wooden knobs, lamp chimneys, festive candle holders, mandala hangings, and traditional Indian wall plates (Warli is a favorite).

Styles I Love

I’m drawn to Indian art forms like Pichwai, Gond, Warli, and Madhubani - the stories and patterns just speak to me. Sometimes I wing it and let the brush guide me, and those pieces end up feeling wild and fun.

The Quirks

I’m all about colour - loads of it. If you want something super subtle, I’m probably not your person. Oh, and I never paint faces - just one of my odd little rules! If you want something custom, let's chat - I’m always up for making something special together.
