A mother, wife, lover, housewife and feminist – in her own words she tells the story of one woman’s experiences trying to overcome various obstacles which women artists still encounter. She talks about what inspired her own colourful artwork- Indian poetry, female goddesses emotional myth including Mary, colourful textile and collage sculptures; her book for children about an Indian girl child in England and her many exhibitions successful, and all this relevant to wider concerns of artists now.
