Sun, Sea and Sand

Images of the sun,the sand and the sea come to life with these beautiful pieces. An assortment of sea shells in a clear vase. Napkin rings shaped like a starfish, jellyfish, octupus and a crab. This aquatic touch can liven up any home in a unique way.

My Paintings..

Prized posessions and special memories... A collection of Chandan Chaudhary 's paintings . These were gifted to me by my parents and hold a special place in my heart.The Ganesha painting is my good luck charm. Its been the focus of my home since the day I moved to the States after my wedding.

"Budha Baba" as I like to call him. This painting is a favourite and I love the black and white effect. It reminds me the many music concerts I attented with my parents in Delhi. This painting brings to life Rajasthan's ancient forts and havelis. I have spent many of my childhood years in Rajasthan . The "Darwaza" was one of the first Chandan paintings my mother bought many years ago for our living room. Its my connection to home and India..

A Love Affair ..

A Love Affair .. I am in love and have been for the past 12 years or so. Much to my husband's dismay its not him as he came into the picture later :-) Its with Australia. A beautiful country which I was fortunate enough to visit numerous times. My job with the Ausralian Tourist Commission now called " Tourism Australia " was a dream job. Destination marketing is a great field to work in. I had the satisfaction of marketing and showcasing a place which I truly loved. I have so many memories of my trips to Oz. Here are just a few of them.

Reminiscing is such fun and I have a treasure chest of lovely memories. This is just the beginning and there is so much more. Enjoy these images for now and I will be back with Love Affair Part 2.
