About Me
10Y667V Welcome to my shop DharmaKarmaArts!
My name is Indira.
I have a successful career in higher education but have been an artist/craftswoman of some kind or the other all my life. I paint in oils and in watercolor and came to jewelry making only recently. I am self-taught in many of my crafts and what I did not learn myself, I learned it from my mother.
I left India a long time ago but India has not left me yet. The artistic creations in this store are inspired by Indian aesthetics, especially that of the the Tamil culture. I use the colors, materials that were part of my life growing up in India and which have informed and shaped my own idea of beauty in my artistic creations.
My creations are made with great care and I take great pride in my craftsmanship. I use high quality, natural materials in my jewelry products and artist grade color paints in the yoga and wall art. The silk in the wall art and the scarfs are top quality vintage hand loom Indian silk that I have collected over three decades.
Proceeds from the sales are donated to help physically handicapped children and adults via http://www.sukriti.org
Thank you.
