Shailly draws inspiration from her experiences while travelling. Embracing Indian and Malaysian culture has deeply enriched her colour palette, amongst her influences include Batik, Japanese wood-cuts and New Zealand’s stunningly vivid topography.
Her current series, ‘Namesake’ is based around oceans and coastlines.
Beside her paintings, Shailly has delved into the fashion industry, her studio ' Indian Ocean' houses her bespoke handmade clutches and evening bags of her own design.
Her own artwork and other creative influences - form the basis of each collection.
She uses fashion as a way to promote her paintings, but also to create a higher awareness and appreciation of art. Each bag is unique in design and personality. They are hand crafted, high quality and made for the bold, confident women. When you carry a bag, Shailly says, you carry its story with you.
Over the years, Shailly has developed her studio 'Indian Ocean' which translates into Ratnakar in Sanskrit, which also means, ‘Mines of Gems’.
