ABOUT
I describe my art & design style as — eclectic as I draw inspiration from multiple sources, incorporating elements from various cultures, art movements, and personal experiences. This blending of influences creates a rich tapestry of ideas and aesthetics. I frequently combine different mediums, such as painting, sculpture, collage, and digital art. This experimentation with materials allows me to continually explore new possibilities and push the boundaries of traditional art forms. At its core, my art is a reflection of my individuality. It often conveys personal narratives, emotions, and experiences, inviting viewers to connect with the work on a deeper level.
Art & Design
In addition to creating art for prints, I collaborate with brands to design unique home décor & lifestyle products. I also custom design brand identities and more. At 83 Oranges® we use Art to tell brands’ stories beautifully. Helping enthusiasts & small business owners with their custom design needs for 10+ years, we believe that every successful brand is backed with a unique story. We guide you through your vision and goals, and together create custom designs that engage your specific audience & make your business thrive/help you reach your goals faster as a result. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results that elevate your presence and drive meaningful engagement with your audience.
01
Belief
I believe an artist’s journey begins the day the artist opens his/her eyes and begins to feel the world around. Later all these experiences are transformed into art that’s unique not unlike how every person’s observations, life experiences and interpretations are unique. My goal is to make intriguing artworks & designs rooted in concepts, color & craft.
02
I have sold over a million artful goods worldwide.
Thanks to my array of licensing partners, you can find my illustrations sold worldwide on home décor items, tech accessories, apparel, and more.
We partner with a variety of brands that transform my paintings into best-selling products. 83 Oranges® artwork and designs can be found worldwide in retail stores including Urban Outfitters, Target, Anthropologie, Home Goods, Nordstrom, Bed Bath & Beyond, Laura Ashley, Wayfair, TJ Max, John Lewis, among many others.

#83FreeSpirits
I want to inspire self-expression by celebrating creativity. I believe that living with intention can help us enjoy life more and be more aware or conscious of sensory cues. It’s about bringing more mindfulness into our every action and in turn, our lives. It’s meant to encourage us to live more in the present moment and to follow what brings us joy! I donate our art as well as our time to the Live, Love, Laugh foundation as we support their efforts towards helping those who need it, find hope. Live Love Laugh was founded in 2015 by actor Deepika Padukone. The Foundation combines knowledge and domain expertise to create awareness about mental health. Having gone through my own journey of battling anxiety, this cause is very close to my heart.

“Love the feel! Uma’s colorful artworks emanate warmth, joy and positive vibes.”
They’re talking about us.
We have been interviewed by Modern Luxury’s – The EDITION, New York, for their November issue about “Interior Maximalism: How These Women Creators are Bringing a New Perspective to Art”.
Interviewed by Oliver Bonas under their “Spotlight On” feature.
A degree in physics, 2 kids & 15 years later, I now create art in peace. The feedback I receive from people who feel inspired by my work makes me really happy. They like the generous use and balance of vibrant colors, which is something very expressive and what I focus on the most during my creative process. Colors arouse the most diverse sensations, can sway thinking, change actions and cause reactions. It is always fun when someone shares what they felt after seeing something I created.
