Art Journey
With over 20 years of experience, I explore traditional folk and tribal arts from India, merging passion with creativity in every piece I create. I love to explore opportunities where art can become the language that helps bridge barriers and can spill over into everyday life. As an artist, using my talent to promote little known tribal art forms and giving back to the community is my focus.
