My love and passion for art started back in my childhood when my parents inspired me. My mother is an artist and my father was in business of making gift articles, murals, waterfalls.

Since I grew up in this environment, I also persuaded my education in arts field and did G.D Art in Drawing and Painting from Pune in year 2003.

As a novice artist, my initial career was not very exciting. I had to undergo lots of struggle to position my art in exhibitions. I participated various exhibitions and group shows, but there was not much encouraging response from any of those events. This had pulled down my moral and I was even at the verge of leaving painting. However, due to strong support from my mother, I continued to participate in various group shows and art exhibitions where I got opportunity to not only display my artwork but also learn from various professional artists along with whom my artwork were displayed.

Since 2018, I fully dedicated myself for exploring the world of Art and became a full time professional artist.

So far, I have participated in over 20+ group shows, national & international exhibitions and solo shows.

 In my 2 decade journey, I have seen many ups and downs, met various people some were motivating and some discouraging. However, with strong support from my family I selectively ignored the discouraging people and focused on improving my skills. Afterall art is not just my passion but it is the medium for giving me ultimate satisfaction and most important is peace of mind.

SOME OF HER ARTWORKS:

This artwork for which COLOUR WINGS ART ORGANIZATION has declared GOLD AWARD is based on the theme “SHRINGAR.”

The word “SHRINGAR” is used in context of Indian woman arraying themselves with ornaments and apply makeup to enhance their beauty.

Medium- Print Making, Linocut.

LINOCUT is also called linoleum art. It is a print making   technique. In this art, I have depicted a woman doing SHRINGAR. Every woman wants to look beautiful. Word “SHRINGAR” is made of “SHRI”, which means “Lakshmi”, the goddess of wealth, beauty. SHRINGAR is generally related to Indian wedding which is one of the most significant and important day for a woman, it is the day that marks her transition into womanhood.

She says:

Art is all about dot, lines and colours   living on canvas. A perfect combination of colour scheme helps an artist to bring the feelings & thoughts on canvas making a lively painting. In my art, I capture the beauty of dots, lines and textures.
