While creating her drawing and painting, she likes to hear Bhagwat Gita and the teaching given by Lord Krishna.Thereby, manifesting her thoughts to positivity and meditation. She works with full dedication and gratitude, visualizing herself in all the living creatures.Simple relationship between friends, family, small room gathering, bonding and self are the topic which she depicts. Figures are simple dressed with no ornaments and jewellery, in natural form and appearance.
