She graduated from The University of Melbourne, Australia and subsequently, first class Honors degree in Fine Arts from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and Loughborough University, UK. She believes that art is a divine bestowment to mankind which separates us from primitive needs of animals and stoic logic of mechanical beings. To create art is to search for the key of paradise. One must genuinely believe its existence and any hard labor in the process of creation is pure joy.
