She began her career as an artist in 2003.  With just one year experience in the field and a lot of confidence in her talent, she started her own institution for teaching arts and crafts by the name ‘Kalalayaa’ in 2004.  Ever since then she has been coaching varieties of paintings, arts and craft works to many people of all age groups.

To expose her talent to the general public, she conducted a solo exhibition in September 2007 at the C.P. Art Center, Alwarpet in which she displayed 65 varieties of paintings and murals.  Much to her excitement, she drew the attention of the public with a lot of appreciation.   Since 2005 her paintings and murals are regularly displayed at Victoria Technical Institute and other galleries.  

This young artist has appeared on a lot of TV shows, Sun TV, Mega TV, and Doordarshan where she demonstrates painting and crafts.  She has also been to schools, colleges and other places as a judge for painting and craft competitions.
