About Me

My name is Rishi Nair, I am 13 years old and I live in Blacksburg VA.  I have been learning drawing and oil painting for the past 3 years from my mentor, Girish Nair, who has influenced my passion for art greatly.  I like to play chess and tennis.

My love of art came from my family. My grandfather is an artist, sculptor,  and florist. My aunt is a self-taught professional painter. I was extremely motivated by both of them at a young age.
