I am Deeksha, a zoophilist and self-taught artist. Deeksha means initiation and a personal loss made me, an electronics engineer, take a leap of faith and become a self-taught wildlife artist; an initiation into a new life if you will. I am dedicated to animal care and I work hard to bring focus on it through my art.‍

by Woman is empowering me by encouraging my art and mission and I stand by its mission. This is a community of natural creators and I take pride in being part of it.
