I am an emerging artist based in Palo Alto, California. I immigrated to the United States in 1987 from India to study computer science. My immigration history and employment in Silicon Valley inspired a diverse body of work exploring my Indian heritage and my life in a world of technology. My work is focused on blending Eastern textile crafts and Western traditions of oil painting. Through the use of textiles and prints, I explore borders: borders that define my memories of what comprises home, and borders between the spiritual and the physical. Through architectural forms that mirror the traditional Indian weaving and block prints, my paintings build monuments to an amalgamation of different cultures.
