Sketching has always been a sacred space for me—a quiet ritual of self-healing and reflection. My journey into the arts began with a group exhibition in 1995, followed by my first Art show, “Sunsigns”, in 2005 at Natrani, Ahmedabad. Since then, my practice has unfolded across mediums and materials, rooted in intuition and shaped by hand-skill, narrative, and emotion.
Though my professional path has long woven through the realms of creative direction and project design, the heart of my being has always belonged to art. Now, I am reclaiming that identity—fully, unapologetically.
My work is guided by instinct over perfection—rooted in a desire to feel deeply rather than to impress. I draw inspiration from the rhythms of everyday life, the people I encounter, and the layered situations we all navigate. Cultural narratives, traditional crafts, and the quiet, functional beauty of utilitarian art continue to inform and shape my practice.
Art, for me, is breath—both life-affirming and soul-sustaining.
Art to Heal is my healing journey.
Two of my research-based artworks, created specially for the exhibition ‘Resonance: Sardar • Navajivan • The Artist’s Eye’ are currently on display at Satya Art Gallery — a show curated by me for Navajivan Trust. This was a confluence of art, history, and values, celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and 75 years of the Navajivan Trust building. Artworks were displayed at Satya Art Gallery, Navajivan Trust, Ahmedabad from October 31 – December 15, 2025.
A glimpse of artworks:
Since the early years of my professional journey, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a range of art events and exhibitions—both independently and in collaboration with international curators. These experiences have allowed me to contribute to the ideation, planning, and execution of professional, multidisciplinary art initiatives.
One of the projects especially close to my heart was one years independent curatorial engagement with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar. This project offered a unique opportunity to bring together art, academia, and community—an intersection I deeply value.
Here’s a link to the memoir that captures the essence of that journey.
Whether leading or collaborating, my curatorial approach is rooted in storytelling, cultural dialogue, and thoughtful engagement—always with the intent to create spaces where art resonates meaningfully with its audience.
