On Sunday,I had a wonderful time doing an interactive I am Keepsake card at Queen’s Tea party At our Tea Party gathering,I created an interactive art experience called Harmony in Sisterhood — a moment of slowing down, placing dots, tracing patterns and reconnecting with our creative power through ritual and reflection.
As women traced the patterns together, there was a quiet sense of grounding, gratitude, and remembrance in the room.
Through intention, creativity, and shared presence, we explored abundance not as something we chase, but something we cultivate within ourselves and with one another. It’s usually done at thresholds to remember our wholeness and create from a place of balance and abundance.
I created Harmony in sisterhood last year for the Queen’s Tea party and women placed dots in the Kolam and I wrote this poem about the art.

Poem
At dawn we gather,
rice flour between our fingers,
bending toward the earth — not to decorate it,
but to remember.
Dot by dot we begin.
Each point a woman.
Each curve a story.
No line stands alone.
Arcs lean into one another.
What leaves the hand finds its way back home.
This is how we heal -
not in straight lines,
not in competition,
but in continuity.
Your grief touches mine.
My courage steadies yours.
Harmony is not sameness.
It is rhythm.
It is knowing that if one hand trembles,
another will steady the pattern.
The kolam fades by dusk -
but the remembering remains.
We rise,
carrying the pattern within us.
Interwoven.
Whole.
After reading this they claimed their wholeness and abundance with an affirmation.It was deeply heartwarming to witness women reclaiming their creativity, softness, and wholeness together.
Thank you to everyone who shared their presence, intention, and energy in this space.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms. Mother’s Day can bring different feelings to everyone, wherever you are in your journey may feel the presence of her love, support and joy. I am grateful to my Mother and my sons who made me a mother. This Motherhood journey has been the best, it’s not perfect but it has taught me a lot and has been a healing journey.
Bloom with courage and peace is my dedication to all the mothers who pour their heart into everything they do and to honor their sacrifice and devotion.
This painting will be available for Auction at the Queen’s Tea party on May 17th

“I am excited to announce that I received ASC Culture Blocks funding! Culture Blocks is funded by Mecklenburg County and administered by the Arts & Science Council in partnership with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Libraries and Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation. The program brings free arts, science, and history experiences directly into the communities where residents live. Visit ASC’s website to learn more, and see what programs are coming up near you.”

I’m honored that Creative Harmony Arts has received a Culture Blocks Grant to bring Explore Indian Folk Art Workshops to our community this fall
Starting in September, we will be offering workshops at:
✨ Berewick Recreation Center
✨ Tyvola Senior Center
These sessions are an invitation to experience the richness of Indian folk art—through hands-on creation, storytelling, and cultural connection

I started Creative Harmony Arts in 20225 to bring people together in Harmony through creative experiences. Honoring Tradition. Inspiring Connection. Creating in Unity.
Creative Harmony Arts is a living, breathing expression of cultural storytelling through art, ritual, and community practice.
As a founder of Creative Harmony Arts my intention is to preserve and share cultural heritage while reimagining how it lives in today’s world.

Creative Harmony Arts mission are

* Honor ancestral traditions with authenticity and integrity
* Create spaces for meaningful cultural exchange
* Encourage curiosity, compassion, and creative exploration
* Build bridges between cultures through shared human experience

We believe art is a bridge - bringing people together through shared creation, curiosity, and respect.
Celebrate both our differences and our shared humanity.

Stay tuned and follow us, for the dates and more information about the workshops.

Create with intention. Connect with integrity.

I’m delighted to be part of Boom 2026. Over the past four years, I’ve shared the practice of drawing kolam using rice flour-demonstrating this traditional art form and inviting the community into its rhythm and meaning.
Kolam is a Tamil ritual art drawn each morning at the threshold of the home-a living prayer expressed through line and pattern. It marks the space between inside and outside, self and world, offering protection, blessing, beauty, and welcome.
In my practice, I reinterpret kolam as a blueprint and geometry of creation. The lines, loops, and mirrored forms become a language for exploring relational boundaries, interconnection, and harmony.
This year, I will be creating kolam live using rice flour, sharing both the process and its cultural significance. There will also be an interactive station where visitors can learn to draw these patterns using simple techniques. Participants are invited to engage, create, and take home a small kolam of their own.
Come experience the meditative flow of pattern, and explore how a single line can connect us—to ourselves, to each other, and to space.

BOOM Charlotte is the largest, most diverse, artist-led festival, featuring 100+ shows (both FREE & ticketed, indoor performances) + food and local artisan vendors.

From aerial dance to Native American drumming, BOOM Charlotte champions creative risk-taking and artistic freedom, and each year, they amplify independent artists across theater, dance, music, poetry, visual arts, and more!

Today is a gentle reminder to honor Mother Earth -
for her continuous nourishment, her quiet generosity, and her unwavering presence.
She gives endlessly.
Without asking.
Without rushing.
The air we breathe.
The water we drink.
The soil that holds and feeds us.
But when we move through life taking without awareness, driven by urgency and greed, we begin to lose balance - within ourselves and in the world around us.
A thriving world cannot be built from depletion.
It must be rooted in reciprocity.
Giving and receiving.
Taking and tending.
Consuming and restoring.
And this balance begins within.
When we slow down…
when we honor our inner landscape…
when we tend to our own needs with care and gentleness …
We begin to give from a place of fullness, not lack.
From generosity, not urgency.
From abundance, not fear.
Earth teaches us this rhythm every day.
To pause.
To nurture.
To trust the cycle.
Today, take a moment to ask:
How can I care for the Earth…
by first caring for myself with the same gentleness?
Because when we live in balance,
we don’t just sustain the world -
we help create a more beautiful one for the generations to come.
Give thanks.
Give back.
Grow in harmony.

You have a choice.
Use your discernment.
Not everything you see or hear
needs to be taken at face value.
We live in a world
that often pulls us into division - opinions, narratives, identities—
constantly asking us to choose sides.
But before all of that…we are human.
When we lose that,
we begin to disconnect - from ourselves and from each other.
Creation doesn’t live in separation.
It lives in polarity.
In the dance between
masculine and feminine
light and shadow
difference and connection
Not in opposition - but in relationship.
When you turn inward and do the deeper work -
when you face your shadows
instead of projecting them - you begin to alchemize.
You create space
for more awareness
more compassion
more love
And from that space…
division softens.
Creative Alchemy is this practice -
transmuting what divides into something that connects.
Finding harmony within yourself so you can meet the world
with more clarity and intention.
Because real change
doesn’t begin outside.
It begins within.
This is the work of Creative Alchemy:
turning reaction into reflection,
and division into understanding.

Your power is not about being desired, famous or wealthy.

It is about knowing where your life force is going.

Shakti — your creative life force energy — is always moving. Into relationships. Into work. Into the endless accommodation of other people’s emotional states.

The question is not whether it is moving. The question is: are you choosing where?

Stepping into your power means cultivating a sanctuary within yourself so deep and so real that whatever crosses you is met with grace instead of collapse.

It means having boundaries and still being soft.
It means transforming your deepest wounds into the ground you stand on.
It means letting others have their process — and staying in yours.

This is fierce softness. This is Shakti in her full expression.

Not the performance of power. The living of it.

Where is your life force going right now?

Stay in your lane. Own your heart. That’s the real flex.

Join us for Art speak opening Reception.

ARTSPEAK :Visual Conversations, a Nine Eighteen Nine exhibition hosted by Connect Labs at The Pearl, 905 Pearl Park Way, Charlotte, NC 28204. The opening reception is this Thursday April 16 from 5-8pm.

Golden Grace – Let Go to Let Flow reflects the quiet wisdom of dandelions as they release their seeds into the unknown. It speaks to surrender as a generative act—trusting that letting go creates space for new growth.
It explores the inner landscape of thought, release, and becoming—inviting a dialogue between what we hold, what we nurture, and what we choose to let go.
Come see and let me know your thoughts?
