My name is Divya Shankar. I’m a wildlife & nature photographer who loves to sketch, paint, illustrate, and shape clay. What I see through the lens is my inspiration and mixed with my imagination, I bring them to life through prints, paintings and ceramics.

I welcome you to explore my portfolio, blog and hope you will enjoy what you see and choose to stay connected with me.

Hello & Welcome!

Portfolio

The flutter of a hummingbird’s wings, The roar of a lion, The hum of the trees in the wind, The beauty of an unfolding flower’s petals. Magic.
