As a dedicated Printmaking lecturer at JNT University, Hyderabad, for 13 years, born in Hyderabad on February 2, 1967, I honed a comprehensive teaching style that nurtured students' artistic expression and technical proficiency, fostering a vibrant learning environment. Emphasizing iterative methodologies, I facilitated student growth through hands-on projects and collaborative problem-solving, enriching the overall educational experience.

I create images of urban cartography and spaces of geometry in clay and wood to represent and provoke a contradiction between a mechanical, and machine-like forms, and organic material; between a constant modernization and technocratization and the receding nature.For me the juxtaposition and interaction between different materials lend metaphoric significance and intended meanings.

I was always rooted with nature and my village. And I witnessed a rapid change in the terrains of different urban settlements of the world in terms of constructions, architectural elements and absence of natural vegetative. So, I work with those recollected memories and issues of people from rural areas who migrated towards urban areas to have a secure and comfortable life where migration already has created its own history and memory which will always be there. The relation of migrants with land, vegetation, material, objects, animals carries those memories of emigrants. But it is also true that these contrasts change in the way of living accustomed with time and memory faded away. In my work, I resuscitate and represent those lost, forgotten, faded memories.
