I am Jharna Pandit, daughter of Dr. Vijay Swaroop Lav and Late Krishna Lav. I was born on 19 February 1980 in Delhi, India. I am a MA graduate in Hindi and English.
I also hold a diploma in textile design. I worked in the field of textile design for almost 10 to 11 years. During the duration, I got to work with different export houses.
Later due to personal reasons had to leave the profession. But I could not stay away from colors and sheets. So I started drawing two years back,
and that is when I met my guru, my inspiration Mr.shaji Nangyarthodi Subramannian Sir, a Thooli Artist.
Thooli art added new energy to my life. I want to take a moment here and thank Mr. Shaji Sir for teaching me this extraordinary art form and changing my life for the good.
I also thank My school teacher Mrs RenuMaam for seeing the potential in me and for building the foundation of my artist journey.
I also thank my Father, who has been a significant and constant support to me.
I believe art is the language of heart, and it is finding inspiration in the toughest of times.
Now, I am entirely dedicated to art.
Thank you.
