Her works, rich with Sanskrit symbolism and bold color palettes, addressed profound themes from environmental concerns to women's empowerment. As the artist herself explains: "My paintings give me space to feel and express my visual delight in color, shape and form." Pieces like her acclaimed "Past, Present, and Future Tease" demonstrated her mastery of gouache, while other works revealed her skillful use of oil, acrylic, and mixed media.
