Something within her kept calling her towards her passion of art and creativity. And after years of juggling between the two she finally gave in to her calling and moved towards pursuing her passion. Took art and calligraphy sessions from various teachers and mentors and learned from everything around.In the process she delved deeper into the concepts of human existence and its purpose and the engaging concepts of life and mysticism, all these clearly reflecting in her work.
