After college I joined advertising agency for three years. In 1969, I joined College of Art as lecturer. Along with teaching I started to experiment in silk screen with indigenous material for my own creative expression. This was the time hardly any artist was working in this medium in Delhi. After few experiments I got full control of the medium. I started exhibiting my prints in All India Art exhibitions and abroad also. My works started getting recognition through awards from All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society, Lalit Kala Akademi, International year of childhood 1979 by UNESCO, symbol for rural health scheme, government of India and many other awards.
