About the Artist:
Hello friends. My name Haritha. I am a post-graduate in Computer Applications (B.Com, MCA.). Due to familial responsibilities, I could not pursue my technical career further. Alternately, painting, which was my hobby earlier, has become my profession and pleasure. I like to explore and dabble in various art forms.I often use cotton canvas as base for my artworks. I sincerely hope that I will be given an opportunity to showcase my amateur talent and will be worthy of your choice. Thank you.
