On dark gloomy days, I find myself painting a lot of rain-related compositions and on happy days I get inspired by colorful landscapes but all in all, nature for me is the best reference and inspiration. I feel inspired by anything and everything. Its funny how our brain sees and perceives things differently. Then I looked into finger-painting and found out that there aren’t many fingerpainters who have dedicated their art careers to finger-painting only and it motivated me to continue because I think it is one of the simplest and most fun techniques (though currently, I sometimes do a combination of brush and finger-painting). I loved feeling the paint, it was like clay and I could mold and manipulate it to create special textures. As the shops were closed, I could not get the brushes when I wanted to paint so I limited myself to painting with fingertips only. but last year as the lockdown begin due to Covid-19, I wanted to try something new, something challenging, simply because I had a lot of time. I used to paint as a hobby and experimented with acrylics, water colours etc. You have a unique way of painting as well, you finger paint.My painting is a response to the tastes, images, voices, and touches I see and feel. And as I paint, I feel my visual experience gets richer, deeper and fuller. So, I paint them, and I love to see how profoundly my imagination and interpretation can move me and others.

When I look outside, and even if it’s a grey boring day, I see colour all over the place. In a brief encounter with ILS magazine she talks about her career and success.
