My love for art has been obvious since childhood from school days .In college I painstakingly worked on my botanical and zoological drawings and they honed my love for art. I started to paint seriously about 3 years ago as I found I had ample time on my hands. I am self taught and my first love is paintings on topics related to Nature, and acrylics is my favoured medium. My art tends towards realism,and I am specially drawn to painting flowers and trying to capture their beauty as also landscapes of natural beauty. Painting relaxes me and is music for my soul. My love for nature also expresses itself in poetry and I have written many poems to enhance special artworks of mine.
