She hails from Bangalore, Karnataka,India and works in a variety of media. As Soumya explains, art is a spontaneous and joyful celebration of life, and she expresses herself with brushes and colours to actualize her ideas on canvas.

An ardent fan of Indian spirituality and divinity, she considers art as an instrument to propagate ideas and expression.
