Art has been a constant in my life since childhood—from training in Bharatanatyam for over 16 years under the guidance of my Guru, Ms. Nrupa Soman, to now illustrating children’s books.
I love creating artworks that captures the simple joys of life and the surrounding. I work with both traditional and digital media, and recently, I’ve been exploring collage and mixed media—combining textured papers, pencils, paints, watercolours, and charcoal.
I’ve had the pleasure of illustrating picture books, board books, chapter books, and book covers. I especially enjoy working on picture books and hope to write and illustrate my own book someday! I thrive when there's a challenging brief, a chance to really collaborate, and have the freedom to play around and experiment.
So far my work has been published by Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Scholastic Press, Karadi Tales, Talking Cub (an imprint of Speaking Tiger Books), Red Panda (an imprint of Westland Books), AdiDev Press, Kalpavriksh Kids Books, Room to Read, Current Conservation Magazine, ZooBoo Books, Ektara Trust, the Jaya He Museum at the Mumbai International Airport among others.
