Malayali Tapestries
Description: A serene river winding its way through the lush greenery of Kerala. On the banks of the river, tall coconut trees sway gently in the breeze, their fronds rustling softly. In the distance, the sun is setting, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and pink. A traditional houseboat floats lazily along the river, its thatched roof and wooden exterior adding to the rustic charm of the scene. The air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the gentle sound of water lapping against the shore. This is an elegant and peaceful landscape, capturing the natural beauty of Kerala at its finest.

Description: A fun Malayalee saying! In Malayalam (and for many other South Indian languages), "aiyo" (pronounced eye-yo) is used in the same way as "OMG!" But as an Indian-American artist who also taught teenagers, I also recognize that ay-yo is a common middle schooler word, and I'm totally fine with that too! This is a handlettered/hand-drawn piece.
