I have always felt a strong compulsion to create art, explore new territories, and challenge myself. I was born to SOUTH ASIAN parents in the mid-60s in Uganda. I briefly lived in London, England, and spent my childhood in various prairie towns in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada.
In 2000, I felt an overwhelming desire to seek out new horizons. I moved to South Korea and spent four years exploring Asia. After that, I returned to Canada and settled in Vancouver, BC, where I met and married my wife, Hannah.
In 2015, I moved to Cambridge, MA, and began collaborating with various departments at MIT, Harvard, Tufts, and the private sector in the Greater Boston Area.
Health and fitness have always been integral to my life. I am passionate about rock climbing AND a certified climbing instructor and Exercise Coach.
As an artist, my goal is to inspire and be inspired. I aim to achieve this with every project I take on. I specialize in editorial, fine art, and commercial photography. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding any of the above.
Best regards,
