About

Hi! I’m Sershni. As with most artists, I’ve always been creative. As a child, I gravitated towards paper crafts like collage, quilling, and origami while trying to write my first novel, make my ownbody creams, and build up my chemistry set.
With such a wide range of interests, it was only natural that my Indian parents would
wildly approve of a career in the natural sciences. I studied for a degree in Science,
majoring in Chemistry and Mathematics. However, it felt to me as cold as it sounds.
Don’t get me wrong – I still adore the sciences and am an ardent space nerd, but a
career in it was just not clicking. Instead, I made a successful and interesting career in
high-end retail.
A few years after emigrating to the Netherlands, I became increasingly ill. It was here
while navigating major life changes including being diagnosed with hEDS (Hypermobile
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), a painful genetic illness that I rediscovered my relationship
with my creativity. While I was losing my social life to illness, I had more time to myself.
So during a little holiday in Weimar, Germany I bought my first watercolor set. I still have
it.

It’s been six years since art became my solace during long painful nights and endless
days in bed. Some of my artworks are merely a result of finding reprieve from my
symptoms.
Now I enjoy sharing messages of kindness and compassion while inviting you to explore
each little world I create on paper and canvas.
