Biography/Artist Statement

I am as an art teacher, a musician, an activity teacher and a learner. From childhood, I tried to make things from raw materials obtained from nature or were waste materials for others. I used waste bamboo from the timber mill as my kaleidoscope’s raw material. As an artist, I believe in the traditions and cultures of nations. Culture and traditions represents a set of shared attitudes, values, goals and practices. A country as diverse as India is symbolized by the plurality of its culture. I want to make Kaleidoscopes based in India’s many cultures. I want to spread all Indian art via Kaleidoscopes. I have begun to develop this art and craft via my classroom, so I teach my students with the help of basic kaleidoscopes. I make kaleidoscopes with materials like bamboo, clay, coconut, wood and other useable house-hold material. The artisans from different parts of India attracted people from all over the world. I want to reflect this art via my kind of kaleidoscope."
