Born in Kenya in 1968 and shaped by a proud Hindu heritage, my life has been influenced by colour, spirituality, family, and resilience. After moving to London at the age of five with my parents and two sisters, I grew up between the richness of my cultural roots and the energy of a new world. From an early age, I was drawn to colour, texture, and emotion, sensing the deeper beauty and meaning that exists beneath the surface of everyday life.
Although creativity was always within me, much of my life was devoted to caring for others. Through personal loss, trauma, and healing, painting became more than a creative outlet. It became a way to reconnect with myself and transform pain into expression. Today, my textured and layered work is inspired by memory, heritage, spirituality, and the enduring love of my family, creating art that is not only seen, but deeply felt.

My inspiration is rooted in memory, heritage, and the emotional journey that has shaped my life. It comes from the people I have loved, the experiences that have transformed me, and the cultural richness that continues to live within me. The vibrant colours of my childhood, the spirituality of my Hindu upbringing, and the enduring presence of my parents and family all find their way into my work, giving each piece a deep personal resonance.
I am drawn to texture, movement, and depth, using layered surfaces to express what words often cannot. Every painting becomes an exploration of emotion, carrying quiet echoes of grief, strength, healing, and renewal. My work is not simply about creating something beautiful to look at, but about inviting a deeper response, one that is felt as much as it is seen.
Each canvas is both a celebration and a reflection. It honours resilience, transformation, and the invisible threads that connect us to those we carry in our hearts. Through colour, form, and expressive texture, I create from a place of honesty and reverence, shaping work that speaks to both personal history and universal emotion.
