Hello, I’m Ardaas!
I’m the creative behind Lalaaree. Lalaaree, in Punjabi, means someone who brings color to things- I think of her almost like my alter-ego or the younger version of me that was unapologetic, extremely curious about the world, and always radiating joy. In my early years, I would pick the most colorful ice cream at Baskin-Robbins regardless of the taste and would often color so much out of the lines that I destroyed furniture and walls (sorry Mama & Papa).
I started my art page in 2019, after years of treating art as nothing but a hobby. Despite having a formal art education, I did not think I could make it as an artist. However, since sharing my art on numerous platforms, I am able to revitalize the same child-like joy of bringing color to my life through a variety of different mediums.
Painting, drawing, designing have given me a unique way to interact with and observe the world. They have also brought me back on the path of self-love, growth, and acceptance. I am excited about the person I am becoming!
Here’s to an abundance of growth- may we strive to keep our lives colorful!
