Inspired by my father's passion for drawing and painting and my mother's love for music, I have been close to both painting and music since childhood. Under my father's guidance I learnt free hand as well as various drawing techniques. Few years ago I was introduced to paintings in which sand was used as a medium. I was fortunate enough and equally thrilled to participate in the Art and Wine Festivals in California. Having working with sand, I have developed a lot of patience and discipline. Recently I have started using sand as well as oil colors in my painting.
