Twisha immigrated to the United States as an undergraduate in 1999. Growing up, she was surrounded by artisans in Bombay (now Mumbai) who created intricate patterns. She was fascinated by the differences between the modalities with which the symbols that made up patterns existed - geometric or floral. She observed that feminine / /meditative artifacts such as clothing (embroidery), households (rangoli + warli), and women (henna) were created. There was a high level of trust between the work commissioner and the creator. The tools ranged from pastes to coils or sometimes stencils, but usually, most of the work was created while reciting songs, prayers, and chants.
This starkly contrasted with the Art Deco, Modernist, and Neoclassical architecture in Bombay and Chicago, where she now resides. The architecture was more masculine, and the buildings symbolized power and prestige. Perfection was implicit in the work, and precision played a considerable role. Her pen and Ink sketches were the start of the geometry and were used to measure and commission individual tiles for scale.
Twisha's art is a blend of masculine and feminine. She uses architectural materials (wood, cement, glass, and acrylic). She produces the patterns using the feminine approach of intuition and meditation, thus reimagining traditions and processes that have existed for centuries.
She has her Bachelor's from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her master's in design innovation from the Illinois Institute of Technology. As an executive, she creates art to distract herself from the noise of her busy corporate life. She does this while raising her daughter with Thomas.
