• Artist Statement

  This piece is inspired by the memory of my grandmother. In Hindu culture, a widely held belief is the idea of reincarnation, and when my grandmother passed away, we believe that her spirit manifested itself into the form of a hummingbird. The background is painted in her favorite colors, and the flowers are representative of the ones she had in her garden.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity means the ability to physically and visually express what can't be said in words. It is an incredibly effective way to tell a story.
