"From Riverbanks to Artistry: 

The Journey of Pebbles and the Story They Tell"

Several years ago, I found myself in the remote and enchanting region of Kephiri, nestled in the eastern part of Nagaland near the border of Myanmar. The natural beauty of this place was truly mesmerizing, especially the crystal-clear river that flowed through it. It was along the riverbanks that I stumbled upon a treasure trove of exquisite pebbles, each one possessing a unique oval or round shape. Instantly captivated by their beauty, I couldn't resist collecting a handful of these alluring stones.

After our time in Kephiri, we returned to Zubza, a quaint village located near Kohima. It was here that my journey into the captivating world of stone and pebble art began. Inspired by the pebbles I had collected, I embarked on a colorful adventure, experimenting with various techniques and styles. With each stroke of paint, my creativity soared, propelling me deeper into the realm of this unique art form.

Over the past decade, I have delved into different avenues of stone and pebble art, primarily focusing on painting animals, particularly birds, on these natural canvases. The process of bringing these creatures to life on the smooth surface of a pebble is a labor of love, combining my passion for art with the inherent beauty of nature.

As my skills grew, so did my aspirations. I discovered a way to not only express my creativity but also generate income from my artwork. Teaching others the art of stone and pebble painting became an integral part of my journey. Sharing my knowledge and techniques with fellow enthusiasts has been immensely rewarding, igniting a spark of inspiration in their hearts.

With the advent of social media, I decided to showcase my creations to a wider audience. For the past two years, I have been sharing my art online, selling my pieces to art lovers around the world. The response has been overwhelming, with an outpouring of love and support for my creations. It fills my heart with joy to know that my art, rooted in the beauty of nature, resonates with so many people.

I extend a warm invitation to you, dear reader, to explore the world of stone and pebble art with me. Whether you seek a custom design or simply wish to purchase one of my existing pieces, each artwork is crafted with utmost love, passion, and sincerity. It is my hope that through my art, I can bring a touch of nature's splendor into your life.

Now, in addition to the pebbles I collected from the enchanting river in Nagaland, my collection has expanded to include stones from various corners of the world. Among them are pebbles from the majestic Indus River, carrying with them the rich history and culture of the region. Each stone tells a story of its own, a tale of how it weathered the currents and found its way into my hands.

But the journey doesn't end there. Some pebbles have traveled even further, all the way from France and Switzerland. Imagine the adventures they must have experienced, carried by rivers and tides, traversing vast landscapes and crossing borders. These stones bear witness to the wonders of nature and the interconnectedness of our world.

Every pebble in my collection holds a unique narrative, a testament to the power of nature's handiwork and the serendipity of human discovery. As I hold these stones in my palm, I can't help but marvel at their beauty and the stories they silently whisper.

Incorporating these pebbles into my art, I am not only painting on a canvas but also preserving a piece of their journey. The fusion of cultures and landscapes inspires me to create, infusing my artwork with a sense of interconnectedness and global unity.

As you explore my collection and witness the stones from different corners of the world, may you feel the resonance of their stories and the beauty they bring to my art. Let us celebrate the diversity of nature, the wanderings of these stones, and the human spirit that seeks to create beauty from the simplest of materials.

Join me on this artistic odyssey, where pebbles become conduits of history, culture, and boundless imagination. Together, let us weave a tapestry of artistry that transcends borders and reminds us of the vast tapestry of life on this beautiful planet we call home.
