She received a Bachelors in Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago in 2019. She was born in Silverspring, Maryland and at the age of two, moved with her family to Seoul, Korea, then to Hanoi, Vietnam, and then to Dubai, U.A.E. Between these countries she would often visit her ancestral home in Mumbai, India.
Working with metals and glass, she showcases the beauty and wonder in materials and life on Earth in her sculptures. Surrounded by so many versions of life and art in her upbringing, her unique perspective dictates her innate attention to beauty.
Sun’s Syrup is an ongoing jewelry project she has been working on for the last 5 years, as a self taught jeweler and glass flameworker.
