Art helps me make sense of this world. And I love it.

It's meditative and yet it’s a visual narrative to communicate and connect with. I love the process behind each piece that I create. No two pieces are really alike and nor are the stories behind them. My workshop is a traveling one as I am consumed by wanderlust and creativity. I collect driftwood from the shores of Lake Superior to the raging rivers of the Himalayas and the Karakorum. What eventu

ally transpires with these driftwood pieces is unknown to me at the time but there is as much pleasure in wandering the wilderness collecting treasures, as there is to work with them and make art. On the other side of the spectrum is going to the Taal (lumberyard) and either picking up reclaimed wood or my favorite hardwood: Sheesham. The grains of Sheesham are art in itself and as I sand the pieces, the wood unveils itself with all the glory of what Mother Nature has to offer. This is just a snippet of my story. My mediums to work with vary and most often the choice is dependent on my location and the availability of raw materials. More so, additions to any pieces are mostly repurposed materials that I find through thrift store shopping and garage sales in the U.S. to roaming and scavenging the streets of Lal Kurti and Raja Bazaar in Rawalpindi. So there's more to come soon. I will also be uploading a link to my website – which will primarily be focusing on my photography. In the mean time, do like my page for updates and new art pieces.

This home has been built on love—by those who once lived here and those who come back or visit. It’s a place of warmth, of stories, of inspiration. Nana and Nani’s home has embraced everyone and it always will. As its creative spirit continues to evolve, I look forward to welcoming you into this new chapter of its journey.

This was once my grandfather’s clinic, where he spent decades caring for people. I would hide behind his rocking chair for hours, watching him work. At the end of each visit, Nana handed out butterscotch candy to his patients—and, of course, I always got some too. Now, this space has become an art gallery, filled with my work, my sister’s, and soon, the work of others who will add their own stories and love to it.anvery

My grandmother’s kitchen was a place of quiet craft—where pickles and chutneys were jarred from homegrown produce, and every ingredient had a purpose. Nothing was wasted, and everything Nani cooked carried her love and the joy of feeding others. Today, this space is my wood workshop. Its purpose has changed, but its spirit remains the same—a place of creation, care, and tradition.
