About
Hi I'm Diya! I am a high school senior in Dallas, Texas. I create social issue and identity-themed artwork, self-funding my pursuit through art competition award money and selling my artwork.
I'm an active volunteer at the Irving Arts Center, where I serve as a Teen Ambassador, collaborating on murals and hosting “Creating for Change” workshops. I also curated a visual and literary arts magazine, Texposure, in partnership with Asian Texans for Justice as a part of my Civic Engagement Fellowship.
Outside of visual art, I'm a top-level debater, winning runner-up in the International Public Policy Forum and being one of sixteen students selected to represent my state in national tournaments as a part of Team Texas. I LOVE reading dystopian novels, watching bootlegged Broadway shows online, running, and spending time with my sister. Thanks for popping by!
