Myself and Sand Art
I was born in the coastal town of Puri, Orissa. Being inspired
by the voice of my inner sole I started visiting the sea beach
at Puri every day right from my childhood. Slowly I started carving
out different faces of gods and goddesses in sand with my imagination
and creativity. Initially the forms were not mature as I had no
Guru because sand art is not considered as a professional form
of art in India. Despite these limitations I pursued in my endeavour
as I considered the creativity in me is God gifted ability. I
took up the challenge to popularize sand art as a professional
art form and started exhibiting sand art at various places in
India.
