Painting Complete!!! ….’Under Pressure’ it certainly is, as I work on completing two large paintings, you get to see one today!! I’m working within several deadlines, with the aim of moving on to my next batch of tasks.

I hope you enjoy this fun reel. I added an image of the portrait when I started it, you can see the basic head and shoulders being painted in. Then to the finished oil painting. Next painting coming very soon!!

A Snapshot of 2 oil paintings I am currently worki

A Snapshot of 2 oil paintings I am currently working on! I love working in a series, especially when I am creating using the same fabrics, model and therefore the same color pallet. Flipping from one canvas to the other with little effort is fun. I can also visualize the finished paintings exhibited together side by side.

Arkansas July summer has been around 103F / 39C in temps (for my overseas friends, especially the UK where you have experienced an unusual heatwave with these temps - this is usual here). I feel fortunate to have a fabulous air conditioned studio. Lately, I’ve been living in my painting overalls, bare foot, natural wavy hair days, glasses on and focused. Finished paintings coming soon, but for now I need to add some serious details to the dupatta and South Asian bling!

REMINDER: you can still go check out my solo exhibition 'Dupatta: Journeys of life & Cultural Identity' at the @fortsmithregionalartmuseum . Over 65 originals, notecards and prints available. Visit the museum page for regular opening hours, private tours can also be arranged.

Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette ‘What’s Up

Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette ‘What’s Up’ magazine feature ❤️ It’s was great to see this double page spread interview in Sunday’s news. ‘Time, Place, Gender, Culture’ the perfect title!!
A huge thank you to Editor Becca Martin Brown for the fabulous feature, for helping me share the vision and insight into my current solo exhibition @fortsmithregionalartmuseum , and allowing me open up about myself. I had to buy the printed version to read alongside my Sunday morning coffee! Screen prints of the digital version included here too. Link in bio to read article online.

Fort Smith Regional Art Museum, Solo exhibition 'Dupatta: Journeys of life and Cultural Identity' exhibition available to see until Sept 11 in Fort Smith AR. Due to a number of requests from overseas friends & family, here are some photo's of the exhibition, these were taken just after installation of my work. The museum kindly sent me these photos once they finished installing my work, and I enjoyed seeing the photo's but the in person visit was even better.

Local friends, please drop by if you can and feel free to tag me on images taken here, I enjoy seeing those!

Reminder: Museum Tour happening on July 10 at 2pm. Free to attend and registration not required. Listen to museum educator Marti Corff, share my work and inspiration!

'Shine Heart' Series! I created my Mixed Media ser

'Shine Heart' Series! I created my Mixed Media series during the pandemic, as a new medium, a different type of art to add to my overall body of work. These hearts were designed just in time for my solo museum exhibition ' Dupatta: Journeys of Life & Cultural Identity' @fortsmithregionalartmuseum The canvases consist of acrylic, gold leaf, South Asian Fabrics and epoxy resin. I love this first picture here that shows them displayed amongst my oil paintings.

This exhibit is available to see until Sept 11, all artwork is available to purchase. The museum will be providing a guided Tour on July 10 at 2pm, no registration required, just drop by and listen to museum educator, Marti Corff, share my work and vision with the community.

To say it's been a crazy year so far is an understatement, I wouldn't have it any other way and am I enjoying every moment. Please know that I am doing my best to keep up with posts, people, messages and emails.

Friday Opening Reception at Fort Smith post 3 of 3

Friday Opening Reception at Fort Smith post 3 of 3! Time to celebrate the outfits, bling and one of my fabulous models. I have enjoyed embracing traditional South Asian Jewlery into my paintings but also in person for my outfits that I wear at art events. So, here is a close up of my Jewlery and outfit. The very last portrait I created in just in time for this exhibition was a yellow dupatta with a yellow background. I had fun working with Sonali, who kindly modelled for me! During and after the creation process I encouraged her to wear more yellow, so it was an absolute pleasure to see her attend Friday's reception wearing a beautiful yellow sari!

Just a reminder that my solo exhibition 'Dupatta: Journeys of Life and Cultural Identity' is available to see until Sept 11.

What a great weekend and some images from my Artis

What a great weekend and some images from my Artist Lecture at Fort Smith Regional Art Museum…. a huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended. The time went by very quickly, I did manage to collect some images. The evening involved holding a lecture in the museum studio, and in a class room setting. PowerPoint on and into presenting my journey and work. We later took the guests for a tour around the exhibit and held a Q&A in the gallery. The evening opened up lots of great conversations and connections. You know I love my fabrics so I took some visuals, dupattas and sari trim to show guests. My outfit for the evening, I’m drawn to yellow right now. An image of my bling I wore. I also couldn’t resist taking another image of the outside of the museum that shows my painting ‘Bahin’…still a surreal moment!

Hand Studies - I had to capture some quick videos in my studio a few weeks ago, of my hand study oil paintings as I was preparing them for delivery. I can’t wait to see these exhibited at @fortsmithregionalartmuseum from June 11 - Sept 11 for my solo exhibition titled ‘Dupatta: Journeys of life & cultural Identity’

WORK IN PROGRESS - I’m working on several works

WORK IN PROGRESS - I’m working on several works of art right now, and switching from one to another. I managed to put this fun reel together. I’m in the fine details stage and focusing on the fabric on both of these oil paintings. The large yellow portrait you can also catch me emphasizing the extreme light that reflects onto the face. Working as hard as I can to meet a huge deadline this month! I’m in ‘art lockdown’, I find myself constantly apologizing to friends and missing lots of fun local art events 😔 I do enjoy crunch time, love what I am fortunate to be able do and I know the time and energy invested is worth it 🤓

Updating my bio pic today and sharing some excitin

Kansas City Crossroads Arts District (Missouri)...

Kansas City Crossroads Arts District (Missouri)...wow what a weekend! Our first stop was @hilliard_gallery where I have my painting 'Masi' featured in the 15th Annual Contemporary Figurative Exhibition, this show is available to see until May 25! I am pictured with gallery owner, Bob Swearengin, who welcomed my work and us to the gallery. It was awesome to see my painting displayed in the front window. So much great feedback and interest from the Community in Missouri ❤️
We stayed at one of my favorite hotels, @21ckc , and enjoyed the art there too. Other stops included the @kempermuseum , and visit that awesome cafe where they have artwork from floor to ceiling. The @nelsonatkins Museum was a must, and I couldn't resist the gift shop and came away with some new art books. I love the Crossroads Arts District, I can't wait to visit again, and for now I’m taking that buzz of a fabulous weekend into the studio, to create more 😊
