An accomplished artist at 35, Pushpa is

the line painting.
She started painting at an
age of mere 7 years. The eldest child of her
parents, she took responsibility of her brother and
sisters when their father left home during her
childhood days. Painting was her means of earning.
And she made it her skill too. She earned enough to
educate all her five sisters and the only brother
She herself completed her studies till graduation
and continued painting parallely. Unfortunately she
lost her brother after he completed his graduation.
Her grandmother has been her guide and teacher. Her
works are influenced by her grandmother's style,
yet she has a very individual way of expressing her
art.
