Abstract Artist

Born in Kolkata, India, I had a global childhood and upbringing in Dubai, Paris, Abu Dhabi and Jakarta, influencing my artistic style and approach. Art has been a lifelong passion of mine. As a child, my first drawings were of Hindu Goddesses like Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati - representing divine feminine power and grace. I paint abstract acrylics on canvas that are calm and meditative, inspired by nature, emotional inner landscapes, Hindu and Buddhist philosophy.

Art is magic for me, creativity is healing and therapeutic, connected to my spirituality and Indian heritage and ancestral voices, processing colonialism, immigration and cultural upheaval, and manifesting beauty, serenity, self-acceptance and empowerment through the power of the brush and soothing colors and energies.

Grateful to my art teachers and programs with Princeton University’s Arts Council under Barbara diLorenzo, including watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.

My shows include ‘Color Theory’ at Maison 10 in New York City in Summer 2023, Solo Show ‘Baltimore Butterfly’ at Highlandtown Gallery in Winter 2023, 10-Year Anniversary Show in Jan 2024 at Highlandtown, Creative Confluences’ South Asian Artist Exhibition at Towson University’s Asian Art Gallery in Baltimore in Fall 2022, and ‘Big Devi Energy’ in Houston in Fall 2024.
