Born in Ambala and raised in Ferozepur, she attended KV & Convent School Ferozepur, Sacred Heart School Dalhousie, and South Delhi Polytechnic in South Extension. Her early exposure to diverse educational environments played a pivotal role in shaping her artistic journey.
Art found she at a very young age. Despite no family history in the arts, she emerged as a unique talent, a surprise package to her family. Her passion for art became the guiding force in her life, helping her navigate through the inevitable thorns along the way. Her unwavering dedication to art saw her through many challenges, proving that an unexamined life might miss the beauty of growth through reflection and introspection.
Her professional journey in art began with her first solo exhibition in Chandigarh in 1987. She worked as a Textile Designer at La’Affair in GK New Delhi, followed by another solo art exhibition in New Delhi in 1992, and later in Panchkula in 2018. From 2008 to 2017 as an artist in an institution in Mohali. Since 2017, she has participated in numerous national and international art group shows, both online and offline. Her contributions were recognized twice in the Guinness World Records in 2021 and 2022, earning her medals and certificates. She has accumulated numerous medals and trophies for her outstanding artworks.
One of her notable exhibitions in Chandigarh featured her painting “Smooth Sail,” which was the show stopper.

Her works have found homes across India and beyond, reflecting the universal appeal of her artistry.
Her educational background is extensive, with a three-year degree in textile designing, an advanced textile designing course, a year each in fashion designing, commercial art, and an Art Master’s (with distinction) from South Delhi Polytechnic. This robust academic foundation underpins her impressive career.
In her own words, “While expressing our creativity is beneficial in more ways than one, art can go deeper than many people realize. Everyone is an artist; it’s just that our modes of expression differ.” Her love for colors and painting comes naturally, and she is particularly drawn to the realistic styles of the great masters. For she art is not just an internal expression but also a reflection of her connection to the world around her. It interprets what she sees and feels, offering endless inspiration.
Her head buzzes with ideas and inspirations, though she often grapples with the challenge of transferring her visions perfectly onto the canvas. Her upcoming events include many online art exhibitions, such as the Art Carnival 2023 in Budapest with Absolutearts.in, and the Teleport 2023 art exhibition in Poland. She will also participate in the 2023 Guinness World Records for uploading artwork within an hour and has already received recognition from the Harvard World Records along with a medal.
