Hello, I am Amruta, an artist who originally from Pune, India and at present settled down into a beautiful city Kjipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

As a multifaceted individual I find my joy and solace in creativity. I enjoy drawing intricate patterns inspired by the natural world, including plants and insects, as well as a wide range of imaginary characters often find their way into my work. I believe drawing patterns helps me to calm my mind and this activity gently brings me back to the present moment. Lately, I’ve been delighting in painting colourful watercolour birds - Bonker Birdies. They bring a sense of bubbly joy and lightness to my life. I hope they do the same for you—and you’ll meet them here!

In addition to my artistic pursuits, I have a keen interest in data in all its forms. I enjoy working with data, finding patterns, and building systems and routines that bring a sense of order and clarity. This combination of structure and creativity fuels my curiosity and love for interdisciplinary exploration. I’m fascinated by how seemingly different worlds can overlap and inform one another. I feel genuine curiosity about organized chaos.

Beyond my individual quest as an artist, I am deeply interested in the local art community in Kjipuktuk/ Halifax. I actively seeks out opportunities to connect with other artists and participate in community events. I feel the communal effect of art on society has profound and transformative potential. I see art as a means of fostering empathy, promoting understanding, and encouraging dialogue, all of these are helpful blocks for building stronger and more connected communities. 

For the past four years, I have had the privilege of coordinating the NOISEmakers program with the Nocturne, Halifax team. This opportunity has allowed me to combine creativity and organization in support of immigrant emerging artists, while fostering meaningful community collaboration.  

Thank you, for stopping by :)
