She/Her
I am a UK-based interdisciplinary artist, visual storyteller, and watercolor illustrator, born and raised in Tamil Nadu, India. My work encompasses sound art, AI-based interactive installations, paintings, and films.
With a background in both technology and fine art, I believe in the explorational and experiential potential of combining art and science. I hold a master's degree in Arts & Science from Central Saint Martins at the University of the Arts, London, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) with a specialization in painting. My master's research was nominated for the MullenLowe Nova Award in 2023. In 2024, I was selected as one of the exhibiting artists in the prestigious Royal Watercolour Society Open (RWS Open 2024).
I am also a published children’s book illustrator. One of my notable collaborations was with Library For All, Australia, illustrating a children's book that is now part of the collections of the National Public Library of Australia and the State Library of Victoria. I am also a featured artist in Interstice 2023, Art & Science Zine.

I started my fine art career as an Installation artist, specialising in the use of mathematics and optics in my artworks. Currently researching on the use of artificial intelligence in accessibility experience
A creative technologist currently exploring areas of human communication and assistive technology. As an artist, I believe in the process of creating new comprehensions to human communication and how they can be made more inclusive and omnivorous. As a technologist, I love to use tools to realise those comprehensions in a way that are perceptible to everyone.
