Hand-painted watercolor cards and prints of the college campuses you love — plus custom commissions and celebrity portraiture. 100% of profits fund education for children from underprivileged backgrounds.
The only Indian artist whose work hangs on the walls of both Stanford and Harvard.
The hand-painted watercolors that started it all — the corners, courtyards and landmarks that define Stanford and Harvard, ready to frame, gift, or carry with you.
Talisman goes far beyond cards and totes. Each commission can be woven — quite literally — across silk, wood, canvas and mixed media, layering hand-painting with texture and material for a heirloom-grade original built around your story.

Words from the Stanford and Harvard communities who've gifted, hung and treasured Talisman pieces.
"The most meaningful graduation gift I could have given. It captured Stanford exactly as we remember it."
"Exquisite craftsmanship. It hangs in my office and every visitor asks about it."
"Commissioned a custom portrait — the process was personal and the result was breathtaking."
