An Indianapolis based painter who has created representational drawings and paintings since childhood, my current foray into abstraction helps me pursue my ongoing journey as a visual artist with an independent means of expressing my ideas. From personal experience thus far, my efforts have succeeded in aiding my audiences in forming their own impressions while relating to my work at the visual level, if not always through the artist statement, then alternately with the help of the colorfulness and variety of textures and hints at figuration and presence of circles referring to human life cycle, through which I convey my thoughts and emotions. I convey my ideas by presenting my thoughts on choice surface materials that are an integral part of my body of work. Some examples are canvas, Plexiglas, paper, anodized aluminum or linen, combined with acrylics and found materials such as oriental papers, gold leaf, sand and fibers to create mixed media. These materials are also incidentally my choice of prime media with regard to courses and workshops that I have been teaching in Indianapolis-Chitra Ramanathan
