A physician by training and a conservationist at heart, Leena is an avid birder whose artistic practice is rooted in careful field observation. In her spare time she enjoys birding in local habitats and nature journaling.
Leena’s sketching practice bridges scientific observation and expressive portraiture. With a keen eye for detail, she translates quick field studies into finished watercolor works that celebrate the individuality and character of each species. By focusing on local birds, she highlights the richness of nearby ecosystems and invites viewers to slow down, observe closely, and form personal connections with the natural world.
Deeply committed to conservation, Leena supports local artists and environmental initiatives through her work and has contributed her art to annual birdathons and conservation fundraisers for several years, using art as a means of advocacy and stewardship.
