The energetic through line in my work lies below the surface of things, rendering a way to form through the formless. My practice is an ongoing exploration into the ethereal qualities of embodiment and abstraction through geometry, line, and algorithm.
Nature and a rich ancestral history have been a constant source of grounding and inspiration for me since childhood. I was born in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by old-growth trees and mountains, to parents of Filipino and Indian descent. My maternal grandfather was a respected healer and worked in the medical field in the Philippines. My paternal grandfather was a Hindu priest, and served in a small village temple in Karnataka, India.
I was first initiated as a child, in my grandfather’s temple in South India. Later as an adult, I received mantra diksha into the sacred science of Sri Vidya. Today, I continue to uphold this ancestral path of healing and ritual, on my journey as an artist living in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
