I have always been compelled to make art, explore new territory, and challenge myself.
Born to Indian parents in the mid-60s in Uganda, I lived briefly in London, England, and grew up in various prairie towns in Southern Saskatchewan.
By 2000, my desire to search out new horizons became overwhelming. I moved to South Korea, taking the opportunity to explore Asia for four years. I returned to Canada and moved to Vancouver, BC, where I met and married my wife, Hannah. In 2015, I moved to Cambridge, MA, where I collaborate with various departments at MIT, Harvard, Tufts, and the private sector in the Greater Boston Area.
Health and fitness have always been an integral part of my life. I am an avid rock climber, certified climbing instructor, and Exercise Coach.
My goal as an artist is to inspire and be inspired. I strive to achieve that with every project I take on. I specialize in editorial, fine art, and commercial photography. Please don't hesitate to contact me about any of the above.
All the best.
