In 2019 I was invited to paint in South India by Mr. Biju Ramesh and Mr. Suresh Keehrti, whom I had met in Australia the previous year. They offered to sponsor my stay in Thiruvananthapuram and to organize an exhibition of my work. My paintings were exhibited at the Windsor Rajadhani Hotel, owned by Mr. Biju Ramesh.

I was painting around the region for 3 months, with an intense press interest in my work. The time I spent in this beautiful region allowed me to do a deep immersion into the people, landscape, and culture of Kerala.
