Label-Defying Art That Goes Wherever You Do.
ABOUT
Why should art fit into a box—or stay in one place? I create label-defying art that refuses to be confined. It’s bold, it’s unique, and it’s with you wherever you go. From stunning wall art that transforms your space to stylish bags that carry your personality out into the world, my creations are more than just art—they’re companions for your journey.
This isn’t art that sits quietly in the background. It’s art that sparks conversations, turns heads, and makes a statement. Whether it’s printed on a tote bag, a cozy throw pillow, or a vibrant canvas, each piece is designed to live & grow with you, move with you, inspire you and reflect who you are—without limits or labels.
Our Work & Services
Art & Design
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.
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.

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.

#83FreeSpirits #DefyLabels
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.

About Uma Gokhale
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.
