**ARTIST STATEMENT**
My artwork explores the beauty of the natural world through vivid colors, detailed linework, and whimsical imagery. I enjoy blending familiar subjects with imaginative elements to create atmospheric scenes that invite reflection.
Although animals and places feature prominently in my work, I enjoy exploring a variety of subjects. I am also beginning to explore themes connected to my South Asian heritage, incorporating cultural influences and decorative details into my artistic practice.
