My journey with my art has been long and exciting.

In my teens and more traumatic years, I forgot about how I used to love painting. Things were chaotic while I was still finding myself. I was a rebellious feminist girl, fighting with every man in my life and making a joke of myself. All this while, I only took in everything but never found an outlet. Until I discovered the joy of illustration.

My journey as a digital artist began with AutoCAD while I was interning with an architect.  I drew a girl on AutoCAD and then coloured her on photoshop. I didn’t know anything about graphic pads or iPads back then. I started sketching and scanning and colouring on photoshop. I was addicted after my first illustration. I had always loved art but that magic only grew with each illustration I created.

I used to write poems and blogs about issues I felt strongly for. So, I started illustrating my poems and written pieces. All my artwork has always been personal, as they are based on my day to day experiences. A lot of my art is about issues faced by women and trans women, whoever identifies as being a female. I am a feminist and issues like body positivity, mental health, capitalism, etc. are consistently addressed through my work. My art is like a diary entry, but rather than just writing I illustrate. Being bold with colors and lines is my style.

I aim to create a safe inclusive space through my work, a world that doesn’t discriminate. Future projects that I am planning to work on include an intersection of my architectural learnings with my current style of illustrations. I am also working on creating physical experiences with illustrations while focusing on issues that currently prevail in our society.
