Born and raised in India and now based in California’s vibrant Bay Area, I am a visual artist with a background in engineering and a passion for plein air painting. My practice is rooted in capturing the spontaneity and emotion of the world around me through intuitive, expressive brushwork.
Drawing inspiration from nature, daily life, and the ever-changing environments I encounter, my work is a celebration of fleeting moments—rural quietude, urban rhythm, and coastal calm. Each painting reflects my deep emotional connection to light, movement, and atmosphere, infused with cultural depth and a sense of immediacy that plein air painting uniquely allows.
Art serves as both my sanctuary in difficult times and my celebration in moments of happiness. I’m thrilled to share this meaningful journey with others and to inspire everyone to infuse their own creative pursuits with passion and heart.
Let your creativity flow freely!
