About Artist
I am Promila Singh, mother of two grown up and settled children living in Gurgaon and USA . From my childhood, I had interest in art and painting objects around me. Gradually, art became my passion and I started painting as my hobby as well as selling my artwork. My inspiration comes from environment, wilderness and beauty of nature, people, imperfections and my thoughts about the world. I do painting in oil colors, acrylic and water colors on canvas, paper or on any other board.
