I came to painting after a career as journalist and international civil servant working for the United Nations. My paintings marry the traditional aesthetic of India, the country of my birth, to a sensibility shaped by four decades in New York, where I first came to attend the Journalism School at Columbia University. All are acrylics on canvas or paper, some with mixed media. Most exist in a fluid abstract-figurative matrix to capture a mood, express a thought, or distill a narrative.
