style ,about her inspiration and her confident
approach to study and paint not just for aes-
thetic beauty ,but as an art explorer .
She loves animals so her first solo show was dedicated
to animals by making a painting series depicting the
beautiful creatures of nature. When she was doing her
graduation she was inspired by Ajanta art so much that
she painted Ajanta from her eyes, and Ajanta art gave
her the identity. She also loves to paint women, her
pains, her gains, her dance, her feelings and emotions,
everything. Woman are always a source of inspiration
for her.
