My art is evidence of my heritage, observations and emotions. The saturated color palette reflects the exploration of my shared cultural heritage of India, Africa, and America. My use of multi-layers and interwoven lines resonate with my influence of the intense hues within the textiles from Indian saris to the intricately woven patterns of the Kente cloth. As I try to convey a duality of celebrating the joys within my life and what my ancestors have passed on to me I am dismayed at the callous treatment of the politically impotent voices of those at the extreme ends of their life cycles.
