I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Maui, Hawaii. I grew up in Mumbai, India, and moved to Boston to study design at the Massachusetts College of Art, graduating with a MFA. I have been living and working in Hawaii for the past 20 years.
I work across many disciplines such as printmaking, drawing, ceramics and 3-D forms, often working simultaneously on them so that one influences the other. I believe that each material has its own innate qualities which I explore by testing its limits. I use lines and geometry in my work to explore color, light and form. I sometimes use type and language to communicate, manipulating it to give it added meaning.
Working as a graphic designer brings a graphic sensibility to the art as I pare down elements to their simplest form and distill ideas to communicate them easily. I believe that each discipline informs the other.
