She communicates through her art and the colourful creations speak volumes for her. Any kind of commotion or chaos of the outer world fails to penetrate her calm and peaceful realm as she is unable to hear or speak. But seeing at her creative works, one can feel her sensitive thoughts, attitude, values and morals. Most of her artworks depict Gods and Goddesses and this introduces her spiritual side — that she is a firm believer. Rani Srinivas, the talented artist, creates what her eyes perceive and her heart approves. She lost her hearing and speech sense at a very young age when she suffered a high fever. This impairment made her discontinue her studies from 6th Standard. Enter her abode in Srirangapatna and it looks like a museum with a lot of painting and embossing works. It is an altogether different world dominated by paint brushes, colours, photo frames and sitting amidst them is their creator. Now 50 years old, Rani Srinivas spends most of her time creating exquisite art works, giving colour to her creativity.
