Flying high

This Saturday we witnessed ginormous, brightly colored hot air balloons go up in flight! Even with my two feet staying on the ground, it was an extraordinary event to witness!

No matter how many times I see a hot air balloon floating off into the horizon I am consistently in awe of the sheer size and beauty!

Can't wait to share some of my ballooning doodles soon!

Past week

Lately I have been spending a lot of time in my studio working on a ton of new things. Finding balance between work and life is a little tough, especially since I love drawing so much.

This past week, I had a hard time keeping up with all the ideas that kept flowing-  It’s like the floodgates opened and I was drowning in stuff I HAD to draw.

Blooms in the dark - New illustration for sale here.

As the summer days pass by, I'm definitely looking forward to getting out of the house to hang out with family. It's crazy that July is almost over already, right?!

Goodbye Maternity Leave, I'm Back to Work!

It feels so good to be back! 

Also a little strange, like nothing has changed and yet everything is different.

My first week was great, it was nice sit in front of my computer again (and the oh so golden silence!), and dust the cobwebs off the work part of my brain.

Getting back into the groove was not difficult. My mind was exploding with ideas and I got drawing right away. 

A truck full of flowers - Illustration in progress. 

I also reopened and restocked my Etsy shop (YAY!). 

You can also follow our adventures on instagram now!   I cannot wait to share photos of the things I’ll work on this summer.

Happy update

There's been a bit of a pause on this blog. But this little break hasn't been fruitless.

You see, I had the most beautiful months of my life - being pregnant and giving birth to my gorgeous son Ayan! Here are a few pictures I took during the pregnancy.

And here is a picture of my (now 3 months old) baby boy. I think he is the cutest , cuddliest baby ever, as I'm sure a lot of parents feel about their kids!

My daily routine has changed considerably over the past few months. Work has consciously slowed down and I have been focusing on enjoying him while he is young.

Oh goody!

What could be more satisfying than a chilled lemonade on a sweltering summer day. 

Inspired by the almost (Can you believe its middle of august already!) end of summer, this print was originally meant to be in my original style (solid colors) but I couldn't resist putting in textures. The texture train was calling and I was way too eager to jump aboard!

Fresh Lemonade - Available for purchase here

Stay cool!

Pragya in your home!

Do you have my prints in your home?  I'd love to see how you display them! Send me your photos to be featured in this recurring column.

Love the colors in Baby Buil's nursery!!

SURTEX bound

It's that time of the year again! 

I'm talking about SURTEX, the only show in North America for selling and licensing art for all types of products. 

My licensing agent, Kimberly Montgomery will be exhibiting and showing my work along with her select group of awesome artists. This is the third year my art has been exhibited at SURTEX and the second year of attending the show. I will be there on Sunday, walking the visually inspiring show and saying hello to some friends.

I have lots of new work & ideas to show and I’m super excited to see how it goes.

Please stop by to view the new artwork at SURTEX Booth #465!
