At Kishan Garh, she organized an international camp for 3 days where many national and international artists joined her and showcased their talents. Being born and brought up in a family of artists, she discovered her talents with the help of her father and maternal grandfather, who themselves were very good in this field. They constantly supported her whenever required, at every stage of life, they were her guiding star. She drew her motivation for painting basically from nature and always found some kind of art even if it’s a waste for others. She likes working in oil painting and especially doing live paintings and compositions. She has learned miniature paintings in Kishanagadh shaily. She was very mesmerized by paintings of the 17th century. When it came to choosing a subject for her Ph.D., she wanted to do something different and somewhat spiritual, so she opted for Gajendra moksha as her core topic. Gajendra Moksha is a story that all of us have seen depicted in paintings, songs, or statues, but due to lack of proper knowledge, none paid attention to this. Earlier, our grandma used to tell us this story at bedtime or in difficult times, but now this is just a piece of decoration for the house. She wants to convey just a simple message to her viewers, that do whatever you feel like doing, don’t take decisions forced by others. One should know how to express oneself in the form of any kind of art. Especially, in tough times doing art brings you positivity and a feeling of satisfaction. She is an amazing human being, not only in the field of arts but in many ways she has tried to reach out to people. Positively supported in agitation in India against corruption. Helped optimized kids by donation. Also, she is extremely down to earth kind of person, her simplicity and creativity can be seen in her hobbies which include Painting, visiting with a family member, listening Music, giving surprises, playing badminton, working for human welfare.
