"Roots and Resilience: Exploring the Strength of Punjabi Women in Indian Art"
I’m thrilled to announce my first feature exhibition in Seattle in several years, and I’m especially excited about this show because it marks a significant shift in my work.

But for the past three years, I’ve been working on something close to my heart: depicting Indian, specifically Punjabi, women in their daily lives.
