An accomplished architect having worked in India and UAE and in recent years, exploring her other creative yearnings, she started to paint and write.
Her artwork is characterised by the ‘sense of being’ and of contentment. According to her, architecture, travel, music, art, and culture are synonymous with “our living”. She believes that they bind us all, without boundaries, demarcated or created.
