Why I Paint Nature and Endangered Species?

Some relationships are written in silence. My journey into nature inspired art didn’t begin in a studio. It began in a quiet village surrounded by green fields and bird song.

Roots in the Soil of My Childhood

I grew up in a rural setting where every season felt like a festival. Mango trees, wildflowers, butterflies these weren’t weekend getaways. They were part of life. We didn’t have pets, but I felt close to animals. I watched, listened, and learned. Nature taught me presence. It taught me awe. It taught me silence.

The Cat That Changed Everything

Years later, life in the city was faster. Deadlines. Buses. Boxes. Until my daughter brought home a rescue kitten Cocoa. At first, I was hesitant. But Cocoa became family. His soft stares and playful jumps rekindled something in me. We soon adopted two more cats. Our home now has three beautiful souls each with their own moods and silent wisdom. They’ve taught me empathy, patience, and the language of animals.

From Love to Responsibility

I started learning more about extinction, about abuse, about habitat loss. At the same time, my art was evolving. I wasn’t just painting flowers or birds anymore. I wanted my work to speak for them. Now, many of my paintings are inspired by endangered species and fragile ecosystems. Each one is a visual whisper. A tribute. A protest. A reminder.

A Purpose That Grows

Today, my work isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about advocacy. Through textures, color, and emotion I try to reconnect people to the soul of the wild. From a village girl in love with monsoons to a mother of three cats, and now an artist speaking for the voiceless my journey has come full circle. And I know it's still unfolding.
