Shalini's Journey Of Art And How It Turned Her Hobby Into Career

Shalini Gupta is not just a portrait artist but an inspiration for those who feel like giving up in difficult circumstances.

Alwar: When the Covid-19 pandemic brought life to a standstill in early 2020, 24-year-old Shalini Gupta from Rajasthan's Alwar district, forged a new path for herself. Without giving in to despair, she unleashed her inner creativity and embraced the art of sketching.

Despite lacking professional training, Shalini took to sketching on her own. She took inspiration from foreign artists on Instagram and started drawing portraits. Today, she is a portrait artist, exhibiting her work across the country and bagging orders from even abroad.
