As an artist, my painting starts with a woman figurative painting. In the beginning, I did many series of daily life on woman figurative paintings which are exhibited at the Nepal Art Council, group 37. Most of the paintings I did with two women figure which were influence by my surroundings, Newari woman and culture. At that time I used to go for sketch in the morning and I was really attracted by the woman figure wearing sari who used to came to fill water in there gagri (traditional pot) from the traditional tap in Mangal Bazar, Sundhara, Sankhamul, etc. places. I did many sketches of my favorite woman form and portraits in the morning and day time I do my paintings on it, in my studio.

In this way my professional art journey is going on after that I started to add some landscape in the background in that figurative painting and then I did vanish figure slowly and made so many series of landscape paintings and did some exhibitions also and did solo exhibition in Siddhartha Art Gallery after that I like to express my feelings by only color and form so did some abstract paintings and did an exhibition in the Art shop and did many series of paintings and exhibitions on my abstract paintings and on in landscape paintings after that I visit in Sri Lanka there I saw a woman wearing a sari in a different way and long hear, a different symbol of elephant and surrounding with coconut trees which inspire me to do new series on it and again did so many woman figurative paintings. After that, I did many different experiments works on figure and landscape and did an exhibition in the Park Gallery “Nature and Eternity”.

In Bangladesh, I participate SAARC art Camp. There I got the opportunity to watch some cultural programs did some sketches of a woman dancing and did one series of women dance likewise I did so many different series on a woman. The series of Woman in Hakupatasi, widow woman, woman with flower woman with cactus etc. after that I face different up and down in my life and started to make my feelings through my paintings creating portraits of a woman which is an exhibit in Sirjana Art gallery “Portrait expression” in 2010. I did a large series of woman portrait in a different way and view. After the earthquake, I did one series on it with a woman figurative painting. So as I am a woman it is easy to express my feelings on canvas. I tried to show Women awareness in society with the help of color and canvas. There is so many things about woman, their awareness, form, beauty, sorrow, happiness, their power and also have to express lots on, in further. Nowadays my series of woman and lady doctors in The feelings and expressions of the present situation on Lockdown and coronavirus.
