I was born in Mysore, India, but I lived in Bangalore, India, for most of my life. Bangalore is often referred to as "The Garden City" of my country because of its famous parks and gardens. Growing up, I frequented these gardens, thereby gaining inspiration for my early attempts in art, and I have always been deeply inspired by nature, love, and time. As such, my art often represents themes involving animals and nature. Because I lived in India for the majority of my life, my heritage has a significant influence on my art. I feature many traditional themes, vibrant elements of color, and patterns unique to my culture.
