About The Artist

Growing up in a small town of Uttar Pradesh, Nagina, India, always intrigued me towards the intense colours and the vibrant culture of our land. I always wanted to bring all the hues and shades of life on my canvas. My parents encouraged me since childhood to pursue my dreams, and after marriage, I found the same encouragement from my husband Mahendra, who became my biggest supporter, best critic, and constant source of inspiration.

I started painting full time in 1965, after I completed my Masters in Drawing & Painting, from Agra College. My work of the last 50 years has given me so much content, creative satisfaction and numerous joys in all the paintings that I have made so far and even for the ones I have been working on these days.

The ingredients that make a successful painting are the very same that go into watching a young child play with colours, as both bring out the inner love and much happiness all around. My brushes opened up a whole new world to me. I was able to bring to canvas the things that matter to me. I am not too inclined in painting too much modern or shocking; it is purely about what moves me as an artist and as a human being.

My paintings are diverse in themes and styles. I sketch & paint on various mediums. My canvas celebrates the romance of the traditional lifestyle whether it is folk, historical events, nature, portraits or simple imaginations. I am as comfortable painting the figures as the landscapes.

I had been associated with the ‘Sain's Painting Institute’ in Jaipur, as a founder, for a long period of time and taught intricacy to students of various streams of Art from India & abroad.

I have held several exhibitions in various cities. Also, Have participated in exhibitions held by the Rajasthan and Delhi Lalit Kala Academy. I have also made paintings for the India Army (Jodhpur Base). Had been associated with the National Association of Blind, Rajasthan Chapter. My paintings on the theme of Blindness and Eye Donation were exhibited in special exhibitions held in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

I am also a member of National Society for Prevention of Blindness and National Association of Blind, Honorary member of Research Board of Advisers, ABI (USA).
