Murals
From school murals across Fairfax County to my family's village in Punjab.
When my alma mater was renamed for John Lewis, the school looked for a muralist to mark the official ceremony. As a senior, my own paintings had hung on that same wall — so this one mattered. It became the first mural of my practice.
My most student-driven project: hundreds of symbols drawn by the students themselves, painted line for line into the sky — and finished with a community handprint reveal.
About
I'm a Sikh-American painter from Springfield, Virginia, working across the Washington, DC area. I trained at Virginia Commonwealth University and The Florence Academy of Art, and I teach art in Fairfax County Public Schools.
I work almost entirely with a palette knife — building paint up rather than brushing it on — because it forces every mark to be a decision. My subjects come from two homes: Punjab, and the streets and skies of the DC area.
