It took me a long time to understand and appreciate Indian art, especially folk art! When the idea of launching a curator platform took hold of me, I started looking at everything differently.

Learning About Myself Through Art
My art is therapeutic for me. I make art because it makes me feel amazing, even when I am stressed about how a painting will turn out. I draw and paint things that are beautiful to me; things that I feel make the world a lovelier place. It’s a bit self-indulgent some might say, but …

The culture of Art – “Simple things are always the most difficult.”
Art is a form of expression that helps you say and show things that trouble, make you fall in love or just strike a chord. As a child I remember two things. Painting and Acting.

Sharing Happiness through My Knits!
I wouldn’t exactly call myself a knitter, but rather I use knitting as a creative outlet. Just like someone who draws doodles on the edges of paper laying around the kitchen counters. It all started back in 4-H Club with my Auntie who is truly, an avid knitter to this day. She taught me how …

Wanetik Sculptures: When History Meets Art
Life is strange, to say the least! My vision to scour the globe for unique artisans has led me down many seemingly unrelated paths. It is interesting though, that it somehow always merges with my mission to curate not only wonderful artists but also stories that are fascinating. Israel has been on my travel wish …
