𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗹𝗮, an ever-curious learner and a voracious reader, found her calling as a writer. With Art1st, she has been writing children’s books about art. With Little Light she writes about the pedagogy of self. She creates comics about cats and nature, with her sister and illustrator Keya Lall. She is a part of PanicNot!, a TTRPG writer’s collective. She also loves dancing, creating games, and doodling.

‘𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝘁’ leads young readers to the magic of folk and tribal art traditions in India, from which emanate all motifs, designs, hues, shapes, strokes, and even ways of being in our culture. It covers eight indigenous Indian painting traditions to explore their genesis, stories, forms, techniques, processes, and artists, layer by layer, and entices the reader to engage with each through cues to contemplate, investigate, and create. The ingenious approach of the Eye Spy series brings forth a new understanding upon every perusal of the book, thereby making it a perfect long-term companion in the artistic awakening of the reader.
