About the Artist

My name is Mahima. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m an artist and an attorney.

I believe in:

  • the restorative power of nature

  • doing things by hand

  • queering as an active verb

  • surprise visits from friends

  • the biological necessity of pleasure and storytelling

  • letting my dog on the bed because she’s a perfect angel baby

I do not believe in:

  • borders

  • the carceral state

  • billable hours

  • nihilism

  • astrology (even though it’s really fun)

Fizz and Folly is my blog about art, relationships, politics, history, ecology and whatever else I find interesting enough to obsess over for a while. The full archive of my blog posts can be found here.

I grew up on the internet and have waffled for multiple decades about what format my digital presence should take. My hope is that this site serves as a combination portfolio/journal/time capsule/cozy hideout for myself and my friends.

If anything here strikes a chord or tickles your fancy, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
