A self-taught artist, inspired by creativity

​

A software engineer by profession, I am a self-taught artist, who was raised around all things artistic. My mother, an art teacher, as well as two older artistically inclined sisters, provided an early start on my sub-conscious journey as an artist.



An unwavering support from my husband helped me resume my experiments with painting in different styles, once both our sons grew older and more independent.



I am a CZT (Certified Zentangle Teacher) and have worked extensively in different folk art forms from India – namely, Madhubani, Warli, and Rangoli. In Summer 2012, I taught these art workshops, offered for the first time by Town of Cary and Hum Sub, a non-profit based in Cary that I am on the Board of.



I hope to be instrumental in reviving folk and tribal art forms from India and help support the artists at the same time.
