" I can't seem to remember the very first time I thought about clay as a medium to work with, but I have faint memories of watching potters in India throwing on a large wheel, spinning it with a stick. While in India, I always searched for the medium on which I could express my creativity. With access to clay and kilns being very hard I remember working with something like play dough to satisfy the artist within and that was in the 80s. At some point I knew I wanted to work with heat as well and started baking as a hobby and later a part time profession while doing my engineering. At the back of my mind I always knew I wanted to work with clay so I kept exploring it in my spare time.

I prefer to make forms with fluidity and movement striving to give life to clay and making it a lasting part of someone's life. Being brought up in India for a significant part of my life, my work has shades of Indian culture and art. I consciously make an effort to incorporate uniqueness and functionality in all my artwork. Pottery has given me the much needed respite from the monotony of everyday life. Centering a mass of clay and giving it form feels as satisfying as organizing and bringing peace to all the chaos that there is around me.
