ARTIST'S STATEMENT //

Parvathi Kumar was born and raised in eastern Canada, is of South Indian origin, and is currently based in New Jersey, USA. She was initially trained as a teen by her mother in manual film photography. Her passion for this medium remained strong over the next 35+ years (while earning degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science along the way!) and after working in IT, she became a professional freelance photographer since 2010. She has received awards and frequently exhibits her work in both solo and group shows throughout the US and abroad.

She is a flaneuse, thoroughly enjoying the process of candid or street photography, wandering and observing in various locations to creatively capture our collective journey through life.
