Clay Work
My Journey with Clay
Working with air-dry clay is more than creating — it’s exploring possibilities. I love experimenting with clay on different surfaces like wood, canvas, glass, fabric, and natural textures. Each surface responds differently — sometimes it absorbs, sometimes it resists, and sometimes it transforms the design completely. This unpredictability excites me as an artist.
Clay allows me to play, discover, and innovate. When I press natural forms like flowers, leaves, and textures into it, the impressions capture nature’s delicate details and make every piece unique. These experiments bring freedom, creativity, and endless learning — no two creations are ever the same.
For me, clay is a space of exploration and expression. It lets me blend nature, texture, and imagination to create art that feels alive. Every experiment becomes a new story, a journey where I connect deeply with the material and discover fresh dimensions of my creativity.
Mandala Work
The journey with mandala began as a deeply personal search for healing and self-discovery, slowly unfolding into a life’s mission to share its transformative power with others. What started as a creative practice soon revealed itself as a powerful therapeutic tool — one that supports emotional healing, builds resilience, and nurtures inner balance. Mandala therapy has become an integral part of work with cancer patients, where each circle drawn offers hope, strength, and comfort during challenging times.
This vision grew further through the Happy Art Project, bringing mandala-based activities into schools and communities to help children improve focus, regulate emotions, and cultivate happiness. The work extends beyond traditional drawing and painting, embracing innovative forms such as paper craft and mixed-media approaches while remaining rooted in Vedic wisdom.
Designing mandala-based kits and assessments has made this practice accessible in diverse spaces, from schools to hospitals. Guided by ongoing research into mandala from a Vedic perspective, each circle is seen as more than art — it is a map of consciousness, a mirror of the self, and a bridge between creativity and healing. Through this evolving journey, mandala therapy continues to inspire transformation and inner growth.
