MY JOURNEY
My artistic journey began with a 23-year career as a maths and science teacher before I transitioned to full-time painting, driven by a deep-seated passion for art. I earned a Senior Diploma in Painting from an esteemed Delhi institute and discovered encaustic painting in 2010. This ancient technique, using beeswax, plant resin, and pigments, captivated me, leading to specialized training in the USA. My work blends abstract and representational styles, exploring nature’s beauty through textured layers and dynamic forms. Over two decades, I've developed innovative encaustic techniques, showcasing my art in solo and group exhibitions, and earning a place in prominent collections worldwide.
