GOOGLE DOODLE - ARATI SAHA

GOOGLE DOODLE - CELEBRATING ARATI SAHA'S 80th BIRTHDAY


I had the incredible opportunity to be a guest artist and design a Google Doodle for the 24th of September, celebrating Arati Saha's 80th birthday - the first Asian woman to swim across the English Channel. I am personally inspired by her legend as we both hail from the city of Kolkata! 

I still need to pinch myself to believe it and am unbelievably thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity!!  

If anyone is keen, you can read more about this legendary lady here (also includes a little interview of me!) :  Google doodle - Arati Saha

A big thank you also to the amazing Lydia Nichols, the art director on this Doodle! 

Here is the final art for the doodle:
