Known for her thought-provoking, existentialist-inspired TROMI (The Reality of My Illusion) art installation, this mixed-media artist has made a name for herself through her innovative layerism technique. She brings depth and texture to her work in ways that captivate audiences, and her artistic vision continues to evolve with each new project. Before fame took hold, she dedicated years to honing her craft, studying at both Otis College of Art and Design and Santa Monica College—foundations that helped shape her unique approach. Growing up in Buckinghamshire, England, she was raised as an only child by a Caribbean-Indian father and a British mother, a cultural blend that would later influence her creative expression. In the late 1990s, she made the pivotal move to Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., where her career began to flourish. Her journey—from early life experiences to artistic training and eventual relocation—has played a crucial role in defining who she is today. And while her work speaks volumes on its own, it’s clear that her background, resilience, and artistic choices have all contributed to her growing legacy. She remains a compelling figure in contemporary art, constantly pushing boundaries and inviting viewers into her layered world.
She came up with a truly unique photographic art project she called Kiss of the Gypsy, and honestly, it was such a personal and meaningful endeavor for her. She poured so much of herself into it—her vision, her emotions, her story. The whole concept behind Kiss of the Gypsy really reflected her artistic voice, you know? It wasn’t just photos; it was like stepping into a world she built, one frame at a time. And every time she talked about Kiss of the Gypsy, you could see how passionate she was.
