During Winter 2021, The artist have enrolled for a 4 weeks long residency program with couple of more artists with BigCi. Goes by Bilpin International Grounds for Creative Initiatives (BigCi), situated on the edge of Wollemi National Park within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Greater Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia.
Her stay was extended by additional couple of months while on the project due to Covid lockdowns. However, she made sure her time at the residency was wisely used to paint more, read more and improve her writing skills more. She displayed her watercolour works on paper and finished new body of works on large scale canvases towards the end of the residency period. One of the best outcomes from this program was that she kick-started writing her debut-poetry book. The initial sketch of the book was almost finished by the time she was ready to leave the residency. She took the rest of 2021 and entire 2022 to work on completely finishing the book.
After a year and a half, she published her first poetry collection on the 30th of Nov 2022, “The Canticle of the Rainbow”. This is a beautifully illustrated poetry book with heart-touching poems and little ballads. Now available via Amazon.
