I am a physician who has been doing art since my kindergarten days. The type of art has included oil painting, pencil colors ,acrylic ,multimedia and collage. I also do tapestry with needle point Cross stitch, crochet pottery, and Macrame. I am interested in all kinds of creative work that involves using my hands. I practiced surgery in the first decade of my life as a practicing physician but later switched to clinical medicine . I always feel there is a connection between being a good surgeon and doing crochet or painting well. I have been interested in painting miniatures since 2008 that were accepted and displayed 3 years in the annual international exhibition of miniature painting ,sculpture and engraving ( held every year in Maryland,USA).I have participated in it since 2010.

I have studied medicine and practice the same. I did art as part of my school curriculum from kindergarten to high school. I have done drawing and painting on my own without formal training after high school. I got better by trying out and correcting color combinations etc as I went along.
