Quirky Nari
‘The Divine Feminine’ Collection
Many of my collections emerge suddenly - almost like I see a flash of the characters I want to create! This particular one came right after a meditation practice, where I felt the eyes of the characters carrying a quirky, almost ecstatic and hypnotic feel to them. I wanted to depict various characteristics of the divine feminine with inspiration from Indian spirituality.
The ‘Quirky Nari’ collection came together in a kit called ‘Awaken Your Inner Goddess’. It contains all 5 artworks as posters with inspiring quotes, along with 5 colouring sheets, colour pencils and a Divine feminine notebook.
Hindu Gods and Goddesses Revisited
I did not grow up in a religious family, so I had a strong aversion to anything that people followed with ‘blind faith’. It wasn’t until I unknowingly walked onto the path of yoga and spirituality in my mid 20s, that the gods and goddesses I once mocked, took on a totally new meaning. The forms became a way to connect to the deeper aspects of what they represented. And that’s where the ‘Soul Collection’ came from - it is my playful representation of each Divine Form, for people to be able to ‘feel’ the forms as aspects within their own selves.
‘The Soul Collection’
Yogi Meow and Yogi Woof
‘The Yogi Collection’
Yogi Meow and Yogi Woof were born to bring a ‘playful’ touch to yogic wisdom. To take away the seriousness with which people view yoga and spirituality, I created these two characters that became my way to speak of the profound experiences with a touch of light hearted play!
Would you like to put up some posters of these whimsical yogi characters in your room or living space?
‘Inner Self Portraits’
She - The Yogini
This series began as an inner exploration and self reflection ritual. It became a time for me to turn inward and discover sides of me that came out in the form of these artworks. Some depicted sides of my yogic journey, others of my grief and sorrow from the loss of my father, while others represented hope and seeking to embrace a life of compassion and love for every living thing.
Would you like to create a collection of 5 ‘Inner Self Portraits’ of your own?
Let them depict stories from your own life, your own joys and sorrows, and become a time of self reflection and deep dive within.
