My dream of owning a home décor shop came to life in 2008. As an artist by nature, I always wanted to combine my passion for art with my love for textiles. These twin passions have given me an outlet for creativity.
I was born in India. As a little girl, I spent a great deal of time drawing and painting as well as meddling in other types of crafts. From an early age, I knew my calling in life would be in the arts field. As I grew older, my interests spawned to other areas such as home décor. It was during my time in high school that I decided to open a shop in home décor one day. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the University of Oregon, specializing in fiber arts.
My interests in patterns and designs have given me a way to express my own art through the exposure of different cultures and traditions. My travels around the world have enriched my knowledge and appreciation of art. As a result, I was able to bridge the gap of my love for patterns, designs and motifs with my love for textiles by opening Amriva.
All our products come from India. Each and every textile uses a variety of different types of printing: Kalamkari/Hand printing, Hand Block printing, Dabu/Mud Resist printing or Screen printing. India is known for the different types of printing and the vast array of textiles she has to offer.
