Biography: One of the most senior artist from India's famous J.J.School of arts,Pratima has a fascination for nature and has become her forte in depicting Mother Nature in all her glory.
Let us hear what she has to say about herself
After finishing my formal art education from Bombay’s famous J.J.School of Art, I have been painting and exhibiting regularly in India and abroad for last 30 years.
I have written enough, in my exhibition catalogues, about my art and life over this wonderful and satisfactory creative period of over a quarter century. My book on artists in India will be released very soon. Instead of speaking about myself, let me tell you about what major publications and art critics have to say about my work.
