January 1959. I was born in Ottawa. My Dad, a Doctor, decided to leave Canada because he felt the people in India needed him more. I was seven months old. I grew up in India for the next thirty years. No regrets. I completed my BFA (Painting), MFA (Print Making), studied Bronze Casting in India. A year at Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Beaux-arts, Paris, France.
At thirty one, I adventurously decided to come to Canada.
I have participated in various art shows, group shows and solo shows in India, France, Canada and USA.

How do I define Art? The desire to create, to engage in the labyrinth web of our very being, to seek solace, a sensibility, a contradiction to the turmoils this world is engulfed in. It seems a constant flow, a constant battle to evolve beyond the gasping breath. As raw emotion churns the very soul, it needs more than just a language. How can I express a bouquet of a gazillion colors in a language of 26 characters? It needs more. And so. I sculpt. I paint. I express.
