I have always been dabbling with art and any thing hand made.
After having sold my products, specially Batik and Tanjore paintings through The Karnataka State Handicraft Development Corporation (Cauvery) for more than 18 years, I moved to Photography in 2015.

My mentor in photography is Shri. R Dev who continues to guide me. I was introduced to YPS by Shri. A K Raju and have been learning a great deal from the many stalwarts there. I have gained a lot from YPS and it’s time to give back something to the Club in terms of service.

My backbone has been my husband Shri. M S Kakade and our son Vrishab who had sowed the seed for serious photography.

I have been participating in National and International Salons since 2017 and gained a few awards and many Acceptances.

• 2017 – Received the ‘Picture of the Month’ award from The Karnataka Tourism Department.
• 2018 – Received Best Portfolio in Art Photography for the year 2017-18 from Lalit Kala Akademy, Uttar Pradesh.
