I’m a journalist and self-made artist. After 16 years as a reporter in India pursuing stories about primitive traditions, human rights abuses and political and social strife, and then as an editor in the U.S., I have come to see the role of a journalist as a raconteur engaged in a debate and discovery — a discourse vital for the survival of civilization and humanity. So, too, is art, which draws on the same raw material — our perceptions of life, interpretation of facts and quest for self-expression. This website showcases examples of reporting and opinion writing, as well as digital and traditional art that explores reality through an “inner” eye.
