But art has always been Seema’s foremost passion and she has been painting for as long as she can remember.

Seema is exhilarated by the magic involved in the process of giving birth to art. She believes that a painting is a truthful expression of the artist’s personality and state of mind. When asked why she paints, she replies candidly and with a sense of astonishment, ‘How could I not?’ This reflects her overriding love for the subject and highlights why art has always played a central role in her life.
