Born in Bombay, India and brought up in Geneva, Switzerland, Apnavi grew up benefiting from two very different cultures.

Having lived in both cities for long periods of time, she has been through experiences that have had a major impact on herself and therefore her work. Apnavi is by and large a self taught artist although she gained valuable knowledge and experience during her two years of training under the guidance of Bose Krishnamachari.
