Music
Carnatic Violin
I have played Carnatic Violin for over a decade, and have performed and accompanied at many venues around the Bay Area.
Guitar and Vocal
I am currently putting together a cover band for the 2022-23 school year, for which I will play electric guitar and lead vocals.
Art
I enjoy painting, graphic design, and ceramics. Here’s a taste of the work I’ve done:
Paint
My backpack for Spring 2022 featured 2 painted snow geese.
Snow geese are some of my favorite birds, and they also represent guard geese protecting me from harm.
My backpack for Summer 2022 features a cat licking its paw.
It’s cute!
A pair of Vans I painted for a friend who moved from San Francisco to Seattle. One shoe depicted Coit Tower, and the other (pictured) showed Mt Rainier.
Sculpture
I did a lot of work with ceramics in high school. Here’s some of my favorite pieces (can you tell I’m an engineer?)
Hazel is my 2001 VW Cabrio that I learned to drive in. I recreated her out of clay, using actual blueprints to make a to-scale model.
A teapot in the shape of the Space Shuttle and SCA. The teapot was unfortunately not functional (the spout, hidden in the tail of the SCA, became clogged with underglaze) but I tried!
Chess
I’m an avid chess player, and especially enjoy blitz time formats.
