As a local artist, I love capturing Mumbai's timeless stories through custom sketches, portraits, and live event art. I also host workshops, helping you create and hold onto your own cherished memories.

Here is my 'A Moment of Rest' illustration on a comfy, high-quality printed t-shirt. It’s a wearable reminder to take a moment for yourself, surrounded by the calm of nature. This design is also available on tote bags.

This illustration captures the timeless charm of Jai Shri Krishna Dairy Farm, a 100-year-old lassi shop in Dadar. It's one of those iconic Mumbai places that holds so many memories, and I loved capturing its warm, inviting glow.

There's nothing like the energy of live music, and I love capturing it in my sketchbook. This is a quick ink drawing I did of an orchestra, capturing the entire band on stage. It shows how I can sketch not just people, but the whole atmosphere of an event.

One of my favorite things is connecting with people through my art. Here I am with a local vegetable vendor after sketching him at his stall. Seeing the joy on someone's face when they see themselves captured in a sketch is the best feeling.

I was so inspired watching this musician at an artists' community event. This watercolor sketch captures him lost in his music, surrounded by art. It’s a great example of how I document live performances and the special moments that make an event memorable.

My Story

Hi, I’m Divya. Mumbai’s my home, my inspiration, and sometimes, my muse for midnight sketching sprees. I find joy in sketching old Wada pav stalls, chatting with Sanjay bhaiya at the bhel puri cart, and sharing my art with the folks who make this city feel like a big family. It's the same faces, same places, and that’s what I love – little slices of happiness that never change.
