She has learnt many sorts of art. And that shows in her home. Turn anywhere and you can't miss her decades-long fixation with art. The space is steeped in a riot of colours with a varied array of artworks vying for attention from every nook and cranny. Be it knitting and embroidery or traditional doll-making or fabric painting, her raw materials include not just the usual paints but a wide range of art and craft materials including cotton, plain cloth or any shining material — everything finds its way into her wide scope of art. This Weekend Star Supplement features an 80-year-old creative person whose exquisite and intricate works defy her age.
