"Bringing beauty to life through the wings of art and culture."
A creative partnership between South Asian artists in the visual and performing arts and educators.
The United States' cultural heritage is priceless for building a brighter future. It's the place where we figure out how to live together, where we learn who we are, and where we settle down. We aim to make the United States a place where everyone feels welcome, and democracy can flourish.

I am a retired public high school teacher now focused on making art. My work is primarily mixed media sculptural pieces centered around themes of social awareness. My most recent installation was titled "under the influence" and was about the gun culture in our country. My home and studio are located in Carroll County
I am 66 years old, I have done art all my life and have done covers for some small press publications/books and some E-book covers. I was Artist GoH at Arisia 2002 and have shown at East coast Sci Fi cons for the past 40 years. I work strictly in traditional media and have self-published several books of my art.
I create authentic-looking custom interpretations of 18th and 19th century, period tavern, and trade signs. Using very old reclaimed barn lumber I match the sign content with the perfect piece of wood to form the base of the hand-painted artwork. The end result is a unique piece of museum-quality art that is sure to be the focal point of any room. My signs can feature your pet, your name, an animal or subject matter of your choice. I also recreate historic and antique signs for museums and private use.
Born in Chicago, raised in Maryland I have always been surrounded by art and beauty. I Studied art at MICA and Syracuse University. I love working in a variety of mediums from paint to textiles.
