On view
I’ve been shifting around some art at the Workhouse today. I didn’t have much time to work on things, but I have been given some space to showcase some work that I had done previously. If you stop by you can see a few pieces right when you walk in to Block 6. I also…

Where did the week go?
It’s Friday tomorrow and I realize I only spent a few hours in the studio this week. So sad, really. There will be a time when I will be able to be there regularly. This week I managed to start on a new painting. This will be the first larger one I’ve started since I’ve…

A free weekend = art time
The past few weeks have been extremely busy, coupled with the typical wifi issues. However, I managed to create some little guys. I’m really enjoying using the Tamil and Hindi newspapers in my work to represent where I am. In no other way could I be more present in my art making than using these…

Artomatic was a great way for me to get my artwork out there and visible to the public. This past week I’ve been e-mailing with many people who made contact me through that forum. It’s been great to hear the feedback and have people share interest in the arts. It’s great motivation to keep making…

In an effort to help communities who are most devastated by the floods in the region, I am raising money for a non-profit based in Chennai. The NalandaWay Foundation works…
