"Growing up in Kathmandu, Nepal, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by a world of incredible colors. My art still leans into those roots- the deep, saturated dyes of traditional textiles and those vibrant Himalayan sunrises have a way of finding their way onto my canvas.

​

I’m a self-taught artist, and I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of realism. I love getting lost in the tiny details and the way light hits a subject. For me, mixing that precision with a bold, celebratory palette is how I find my "Zen."

​

I’m mostly working with acrylics right now, but I’m excited to keep experimenting with new mediums and styles as I grow. Ultimately, I just want to capture the beauty I see and share that bit of joy with everyone else."
