Having begun my journey in the arts from age four, misdiagnosed with diphtheria and confined to a hospital bed in a remote small town in Bihar, India, it was my dream to make art. Having lost my father in my teens, it was up to me to bring home the bacon with a very young brother and a stay at home mother.
I embraced fine arts as a second lease on life here in the US far from my birth city of Kolkata in India. Ever since, my works have shown at the Newark Museum (NJ), The Royal Scottish Academy , Tate (UK) Mumbai Museum (India) Contemporary Art Museum S. Korea , Torpedo Art Factory , Monmouth Museum (NJ) Haggin Museum (CA), Lalit Kala Academy (India), Feminist Art Project , Goggleworks , Prince Street Gallery, Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition , NYC etc. A founder member of SIPMA Contemporary, I curated a number of exhibits with an emphasis on inter-disciplinary art. I collaborated in experimental dance/art at Swarthmore College and performance art at the Soho 20 gallery , NYC.
