I’m an Indian artist, based in Canada. My journey started with following my childhood passion with much curiosity to deeply drench in the elixir of the phenomenal world of art and creativity. I completed my graduation in Mathematics in 2012 and did a master's in Actuarial Science in 2014, then I took the artistic part and did my diploma and Master in arts.

Through various international and national art exhibitions, art has always connected me with people by conducting art workshops and working as an art teacher.

I have also received the Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation Merit Award for Delhi Zone 2017.

Chosen for the Art Encounter program at Toronto Outdoor Art Fair-23.

Got funding from Ontario Art Council-2024.

And I still feel that there are so many unexplored territories that need to be discovered through art.
