Her mixed media works weave unspoken narratives about lives of people through their visage. She has had four solo shows of which “Pause and Play” by Artspeaks India at Shridharani Gallery, Triveni Kala Sangam, “Construct Deconstruct”, at Museum Art Gallery, Mumbai and a solo at Jehangir Art Gallery are important.
