Being born and brought up in India, lived and worked in Dubai and then married and moved to the Midwest [USA]. Have always loved to travel and I am really lucky to have found a better half who loves it as much as I do. All the traveling and living in different countries has influenced my identity as an Artist. It has exposed me to the different architecture, cultures, climates and other artists. You will find middle eastern inspired trellis to Indian paisleys mixed with western geometric patterns in my work. Over the past year, i have been a regular sketcher and been recording my travels in my watercolor journal. I am one of the moderators of my local urban sketchers group in the Twin cities and post my work on my Instagram page. My love for watercolours and traveling is the idea behind my Etsy store. My unique handmade watercolor palettes come in various sizes and are a great addition to any studio or travel kit.

I am open to commissions and collaborations. If you are a boutiqe who wish to carry my product do feel free to message me.

Thank you for reading my story and stopping by my lil shop !
