About

It would be fair to say that what I am today can be called Sheetal 2.0.

In my previous avatar I was a T.V and Film industry professional. I directed, produced wrote and headed a couple of broadcast channels. It was a journey of about 23 years, during which I was more upset and disgruntled than happy and fulfilled. Somewhere deep in my soul I knew I did not want to do what I was doing, but also did not know what I wanted to do. What could I do?

A personal tragedy struck in 2014, the untimely loss of a loved one does change ones perspective towards life.

And then almost magically I got the opportunity to move to the most amazing and beautiful city in the world, Prague. The beauty of the city kind of healed me, being surrounded by so much art and culture definitely did a number on me.

The last three years saw me learning to paint and draw, they have been the most fulfilling three years of my life and I hope to feel this way till the day I die. My paintings are my story, my feelings, my emotions, my babies. Each is a part of my heart and soul. I choose to be a painter for the rest of my life and hope my art connects with people and travels far and wide.

I owe most of what I am today to my best friend and life partner Bijesh Jayarajan, I wouldn't be where I am without his unconditional love and support. He is truly the wind beneath my wings.
