This piece is an abstract, modern collage. A medley of various hand made, textured papers and paint. It is a striking piece that has lots of texture and a touch of whimsy.

About the artist:

• I dream in color!
• I have been fascinated with color from an early age and have always surrounded myself with it.
• An education and career in the architecture and interior design industry gave me a deeper understanding of color and the positive effects a good color palette can have on the inhabitants of any space.
• A few years back I started painting with acrylics and ventured into mixed media art. My paintings are explorations of various media and textures and show my unrestrained obsession with color. I paint whatever catches my fancy, sometimes a color scheme will compel me to start a painting and at other times an image from nature will.

Being born and raised in India, I have the advantage of having soaked in its rich and multi-colored culture and heritage and that very often comes through in my creations. In short, my art is a classic example of "East meets West".
Most of my works are richly textured and vividly colored, making them a treat for the senses. I very often start a painting with just a color palette in mind and let my creative energy take charge of the canvas.

• I have participated in several group shows around the San Francisco bay area and many of my pieces are in collections all over the globe.
