ARTIST BIO
I was born in India and graduated from University with a Bachelor of Science degree, before working for a large public sector Bank, as a Corporate Loan Officer. I moved to the US with my husband in 1980 and subsequently earned an MBA degree from the University of Texas. My husband and I and our two sons have lived in Northern California since 1987.
As a stay-at-home mother , raising two young boys I was very involved with volunteering at the local elementary schools, while at the same time satisfying my desire for creativity by taking classes in art.
I have always been interested in drawing and painting and my first teacher was my mother, a watercolor artist, who encouraged my playing with paint from an early age.
Largely self-taught, I began taking classes and workshops in design and technique, with nationally and internationally known artists in 1996 and I have been painting full-time since 2004.
Currently, I work from my home-studio and show and sell my art in various venues around the Bay Area. My art has been juried into many exhibits, where I have received several awards for my drawings and paintings and my paintings are in private collections in the US and abroad.
I have been affiliated with various art organizations and in the past, I have served as a Board member on the Boards of the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society and the Fine Arts League of Cupertino.
