As she loved art, painting was her first choice to express her artistic ideas. Ashima was confident that working with visual forms will be the best approach for shaping her ideas.’
As a matter of fact, Aashima is a civil servant and has been working with Indian Railways for the past two decades. Her dedication to art drove her to continue practising art and gradually she became known as a visual artist who successfully polished and matured her painting skills under the guidance of renowned painter Shri Vir Munshi. It has been very significant that Aashima’s working life as a bureaucrat helped her to be an artist in a meaningful way. Her job in Railways and tourism enabled her to get inspired by the diversity of Indian towns and traditional art forms and today she is a well known visual artist.
