She paints from her heart and her soul, not just from a brush soaked in acrylics on a canvas coated with chalk pigment, paint and binder resting on a triangle of wood, otherwise know TV as an easel. Her love for nature began at a very early age when she used to walk in the woods around Jalukie village with my grandparents. Her grandfather would point out the changing colours of the leaves each season and her grandma would notice the rays of sunlight peeping through the trees and shining on the paths we walked on.
Her paintings reflect what she has personally seen in nature around Nagaland, in her travels around Delhi and more recently, Thailand. Yes, people are also a part of nature but they detract from the beauty of the trees, the sky and water and so she prefer to paint nature as unspoilt by its continuing destruction by people. Sadly it’s probably only a matter of time before the wanton destruction of nature by the growing population and climate change will destroy what she had seen as a child. Hopefully, her paintings can help to preserve nature as it should be.
Please join her in her quest to show you what nature is and should be.
