expressions of anguish and loneliness. She is a figurative painter she
depicts movements of female figures. Her bold colours and figures
portray various aspects of Indian women. She believes that a woman's
position in the South Asian society is very conservative.

Phulkari - a technique popular in Punjab, India. Her compositions and
forms are well structured according to the concepts of graphic design.

here creative works.
