Biography

Mardi is a Poet and an internationally selling Artist. Mardi transcends cultural boundaries in both the art world and her personal life. Born in Karachi to a German mother and an Indian father, Mardi grew up in a highly multicultural suburb of Toronto. Presently, she is living with her family on theancestral lands of the Squamish Nation, tucked in the rainforest on the mountainous coast of British Columbia, Canada.

With the Coastal Mountains at her back and the Pacific Ocean at her toes, Mardi spends part of each day roaming the forest trails with her hounds. Nature and the energy patterns hidden within are her inspiration. Mardi’s talent lies in her fluid translation of thought into physical form. Self-taught, Mardi began painting in 2003. She has developed at an accelerated pace, no doubt, aided by her genius aptitude for spatial mathematics. Mardi’s bold, expansive works engage themes of the balance and energy. Masculine and feminine energies – the logical and the intuitive - the chaotic and the structural – the fluid and the static are all dichotomies that play gracefully into her masterworks.

Light, waves and helixes reflect Mardi’s love of physics and quantum theory in the Inlightning Collection. Mercurial fish swim in schools of thought in the Stream of Consciousness Collectionand true horsepower is released in the Equine Divine Collection.

Mardi is also the authour of a proposal for a World School of Peace, inspired by her work as a mother of 3 and foster parent for 40 youth. The proposal is endorsed by H.H. the Dalai Lama snd Dr. Robert Muller, founder of the United Nations University of Peace (23 Nobel nominations).
