How Anushka Kalro gives shape to memories

Bengaluru-based artist Anushka Kalro talks about her work, inspiration and role models

Even as a child, a choice of career was no head scratcher for Anushka Kalro. “I always knew I would do something creative, working with my hands,” says the Bengaluru-based artist. Having grown up in Valley School outside of Bengaluru, Anushka spent a lot of time with Nature, sketching and working on artsy projects. “I believe that is why there is a lot of Nature and its patterns in my work. I pretty much knew in Class VIII that I would be going to art school after I finished high school.” Apart from a creative streak, Anushka, now 31, also possessed an entrepreneurial bent. “I began to work with women entrepreneurs, helping them with their brand design and positioning their innately Indian brands online,” she adds.
