I am an artist with multiple professional identities including as an art therapist, educator, and researcher working in healthcare and community settings. Living out my research\u202finterests, I have been a lifelong\u202fvisual artist, and my art explores the intersection of identity and representation of emotion.\u202fMy visual aesthetic is deeply inspired by nature and textiles. In particular, my roots as a textile designer in India inform my compositions and color preferences. By actively engaging in art making practices, I highlight the importance of arts-based heuristic exploration as a valid resource to encourage compassion and effective communication amongst individuals and groups. I explore and honor these social intersections to hold the unity of opposites, question normative points of view, promote compassion, invite positive emotions, and identify art making as a viable resource for healing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
