Biography
I grew up in a complex combination of Indian and Thai cultures. The blend of colors, have always captivated me. The vibrant and delicate patterns are imprinted in my mind. I see and portray life in colors and patterns.
I have always been fascinated by glass. The quality of it captivates me. How it liquifies when heated and solidifies when cooled. How it shatters and breaks and then can be melted back together again. As soon as I laid my hands on glass as an artwork medium, I was hooked. I love how it retains its colors yet blends and re-emerge in a new, usually surprising, colors. And I love how the depth that it possesses captures and reveals the complexity hidden within.
I have been working with glass for about twelve years now and I still love every minute of it. I enjoy creating new things, pushing the limits and finding new ways to make my vision materialize.
I found my happiness in my creation and I hope to be able to share that with you!
