Hi! I’m Parul Sen, the artist behind Pink Wattle. I like to find beauty in the everyday objects and scenes that eventually find their way into my paintings. I grew up in India in the pink city of Jaipur before I moved to Melbourne the land of wattle, hence the name - Pink Wattle.
I started my career as a graphic designer in India and then as a wedding designer but I always wanted to illustrate what I cared for the most- my surroundings. Selling my artwork happened by accident after I shared an artwork with my local Facebook group and was overwhelmed by the response. I have enjoyed every brush stroke that brings me closer to a happy customer.
