Art on reclaimed wood and paper packaging

Yes, I am a hoarder though not in the conventional sense. But if I see use in something then I find it hard to let go. If I see use in something but I can’t use it – I pass it on to someone who can. Many years ago when we were moving into our […]

The Mind Gallery

The Covidart/ Covid Mask series have gained some followers. After being contacted by ‘Faces of the Front Line Organization’, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a similar request through Instagram to share the artwork on ‘The Mind Gallery’s website and social media handles. I said yes 🙂 And all the ‘Mask’ series paintings depicting these […]

Faces of the Frontline

I have spent the last few months concentrating on painting and home. I only just remember to post once a month here on the blog and every couple of days on Instagram. So imagine my surprise when I got a message on Instagram asking me if I would be ok with sharing some of my […]

Creativity and Quarantine – Possibilities of Fusion in Photography

The image you see on top is of my living area at 11.53 pm on Saturday the 28th of March 2020 A chance conversation with a friend who lives in an upscale place in Mumbai sparked an idea for me. We were talking about her help having to go home to a small ‘kholi‘ measuring […]

Why am I selling some art ‘affordably’?

Sometimes I may develop the initial sketch as a finished piece even though it started out as a practice session.

Art Exhibition at Go Native, Bangalore – Nov 2019

Banaras. Kashi. Varanasi…

I rarely get to travel sans family. So this five day trip to Kashi was special.  Made more so because I went with three girlfriends. One of whom is Roopa Pai. Roopa was going for ‘The Bookaroo Children’s Literary Festival’ and the three of us decided to give her some company. I loved Kashi/Varanasi/Banaras with […]

In a coffee table book no less!

My regular readers will know just how much fun I have at Royal Enfield’s Rider Mania. This last year I went to paint two custom helmets for them and I came back a thousand times richer in the friends I made. Since there were so many people taking pictures/videos and going ‘live’ from the venue […]

Sadhu(s) on a plate!

You all know me and re-cycling/ up- cycling! If there is still life left in it – you know I will figure out use for it 🙂 A few years ago (in 2013) I had papered some old melamine plates with pages from my son’s old notebook and then I painted over them. There were […]
