Hi, This is Shilpa Gadkari...
Way back in early 1990s
..when I was in College, I have visited an exhibition..It was loaded with variety of art work by our community people..But what caught hold of me was few portraits done by Dr. Rath..since then I decided to do portraits... In my vacations I expressed my desire to do portraits to my mom...she took me to his house in Mahim
..Dr. Rath was dentist profession but his living room was decorated with variety of his portraits..due to his old age he was not associated with them by that time..but he asked me to contact Artist Maladkar , who was conducting art classes that time..so thtats how my art journey began at Maladkar sirs classes..my initial few sketches are here
