Painting has been my passion since my childhood. I was one
of the best students in drawing during my primary
schooling. I took part in many drawing competitions and won accolades.
To pursue a career in arts, I joined a five year diploma
program at Shri B A Mehta College of Arts,
Amalsad, Gujarat, India after completing my high school. I
achieved Diploma in Commercial Arts
with specialization in Illustrations
in the year 2002.
After finishing my college, I worked as a drawing teacher and associate to
Mr Dhiren
Parekh, a renowned artist from south Gujarat, for
1.5 years in his art
studio - Kalaruchi Kendra. This is
where I learnt Sand painting (a unique kind of painting with natural sand)
and other forms of creative arts like painting on stone, painting on
aluminum foil, spray painting, collage painting, glass painting etc.
Today, though I do not work as a full-time drawing teacher,
I am still passionate about my art and make creative sand paintings at home.
I participate in various cultural events displaying this unique form of
painting.
I worked on variety of subjects in my paintings, like
landscapes, illustrations, portraits, religious figures etc.
