About and Experience
​
Before I talk about my Project I want to share my experience!
​
My Experience has been life changing. I got a whole new perspective on my interests and likes. I fell in love drawing landscapes and Animals!.
I got to experience different cultures , cuisines and I also met some interesting people.
​
Just lying down in the mountains and drawing whatever comes to mind and going to the Nicholas Roerich museum to study paintings has helped take my work to a higher level and has helped me to understand myself.
​
As a part of my College Final year Internship - with Srishti Films , I created 6 illustrations for SECURE Himalaya for their visual merchandise branding.
Secure Himalaya is a GEF Funded, UNDP project
aiming to Secure livelihoods , conserve wildlife and the sustainable restoration of high range Himalayan ecosystems.

A Red Fox in the Himalaya
​
One of the most memorable moments during my trip to Pangi Valley was when I spotted a red fox. I then immediately pictured this drawing.
​
I made this piece after visiting the Nicholas Roerich museum.
I was very moved by his use of forms and colour perspective, so I wanted to play with the greens and bring in a sense of colour perspective!

India Biodiversity Awards 2021 Film-
My Role : Category Icon Illustrator
​
I worked on the Award Category Icons Illustration for this Film. This was the first time I worked on Illustrations for a Film, so It was interesting to figure out how to mix an illustrative style with a moving image.

Scenic Pangi Valley
​
I love drawing Landscapes!
I love inking textures, finding forms and bringing in a good perspective.
Pangi is so beautiful and I am so happy to have visited a place that ended up inspiring most of my artwork in a significant way.
