She is currently producing paintings for the inaugural exhibition for the new Museum of Goa & is organising-participating in an exciting 4 woman show, with 5 galleries (so far) travelling from India to Europe later in the year, the final venue being the Nehru Centre, the cultural wing of the Indian High Commission HQ in London.
