Buy from living artists. The dead ones don’t need the money. About 14 years ago on a trip abroad with my husband, we found ourselves at the lounge at Brussels airport. The place was packed but we managed to find a table. Sat down and looked up to see a lady with a full plate […]
“I paint on anything and everything. A lot of effort goes into what I call ‘practice sessions’. Sometimes I may develop the initial sketch as a finished piece even though it started out as a practice session. Sometimes I leave it at the point where I have learnt or ‘practiced’ what I set out to […]
I won! And the best part – I had no clue that I was even in the running! Some one from YourStory wrote to tell me that they had nominated my name for an award and that someone from the awards organization would get in touch with me. I thanked the said person and promptly […]

Kavita Rayirath and I have a strange friendship. We don’t talk/chat often. We connect only when there is something to share, I mean really share. And Kavita shares generously. Kavita blogs at ‘Indian By Design‘, and a whole host of other blogs. The list spans diverse topics – from food to movies – and she […]
While cleaning out my (art) closet, I found a truck load of memories and loads of inspiration. This past year as you all know has been very busy. And time has just flown. Can you believe it is already halfway through May!! I have been so caught up in life and in ‘production’, that I […]
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! The last few months have been hectic. A lot happening on the home front and in the studio. I have been working on two simultaneous collections… that part has been mind numbing at times. The dependencies on other people in the supply chain as also vendors is something […]
This is not my work, but my daughter – Meera’s. She is 3 years and nine months old. I am amazed at the fearless way she uses colour. And this was done by her in about a half hour session in school. So I know no one coached her. She was one of many kids […]
Hi, and Happy Diwali everyone. Rekha and Sharon from ‘The Key Bunch’ asked if I would do a guest post as part of their one-year anniversary celebrations, I said yes immediately. Now, having said yes, I found myself clueless as to the topic for the post!! So, since I am an artist and I have […]
The Sattva Art House is a really wonderful and calm place. It’s housed in a 100-year-old bungalow in Whitefield, Bangalore. It is filled with children learning to paint and express their inner creativity. This show is hopefully the start of a long and artistically satisfying journey for me. I am looking forward to conducting workshops […]
