Given her upbringing in a family of artists ingrained in devotional tradition, Shobha Broota s meditative soul search through art seems natural. From musician to artist cum art teacher, her creative sojourn has also undergone changes where her earlier repertoire s portraits and human forms, birds and animals, and similar elements have now given way to the cosmic world and natural elements. Her training as a musician, as well as as her experience as an artist and art teacher, have impacted her work, wherein aesthatics and tactile quality of the composition assume prime importance.
