Born in Kathmandu, Nepal, my hands met clay before I knew the language for what I felt. I was always drawn to the quiet alchemy of creation, to the way something beautiful could emerge from nothing but earth and intention. From childhood, I found joy in shaping the unseen into form, letting imagination lead where words could not.

Though I pursued a degree in Information Management, my heart was always rooted in art. The day I stepped fully into my creative path, it felt like a return to something ancient and true. Since then, I have never looked back. My artistic journey has been shaped by years of immersive practice, both in independent creation and collaborative roles. I’ve worked as an art project manager and assistant sculptor, contributing to national and international projects that speak across borders. Among the milestones that hold deep meaning for me: sculpting the 7 foot-tall Yeti mascot for Visit Nepal 2020, designing radiant costume pieces for Miss Universe Nepal in 2019 and 2021; and assisting master painter Tshering Sherpa in creating bronze sculpture for Nepal’s first-ever representation at the Venice Biennale in 2022.

In 2022, I was honored with the National Award for Installation Art, a moment that affirmed the sacred relationship I hold with material and meaning. I recently earned my MFA in Sculpture and Ceramics from the Herron School of Art and Design, where my practice deepened into something both spiritual and scholarly. At the heart of my work is a reverence for ancient wisdom, teachings passed down through generations of Rishis, the sages of my lineage. My sculptures are a meditation on self-realization, energy, and the limitless potential within every being.

I believe art is not just something we create, it is something we live. I want to walk through this life as an artist: seeking, shaping, and surrendering to the places that move me and the people who feel like home, no matter where the journey leads.
