Folk Stroke is a one woman business.
I visualize, design, create, photograph, list, ship and manage everything by myself. Hi, I am Aboli, a homemaker staying with my insanely supportive family in Pune, the cultural capital of Maharashtra in India ('Maha' means Great and 'Rashtra' means Nation) Here, everyday life is full of arts and traditions. I am a self taught artist. Hunger for creativity has opened doors of different media for me and thus Folk Stroke is not just restricted to folk art paintings alone. I enjoy different hobbies which you will observe; reflect in vast varieties of my creations. My inspiration is the rich culture that surrounds me; where the day begins with a colorful 'Rangoli' and ends with the melody of folk songs. I feel honored to share my rich heritage with you under the banner of 'FOLK STROKE' . I love to touch various media like henna, candles, canvas. I prefer eco friendly handmade papers for paintings. Following original techniques when creating folk art paintings and use of natural colors like rice flour paste, red ochre soil, turmeric, indigo etc makes my artwork OOAK unique; different from today's ready made market. My Warli paintings (Folk Art) are sold to collectors all over the world. You will always find me in my home studio surrounded by seed beads, rhinestones & sequins. I can not explain the joy when a beautiful applique is born in my hands! I love creating appliques and enjoy doing custom orders also. I happily offer discounts on bulk/ combined purchase. I take pride in reaching every corner of this world as 'Folk Stroke'. With each artwork of mine, I am giving a piece of my soul. I need your appreciation. Be a part of my life! |
