Rukmi is a health care professional turned artist. She enjoys painting florals on any surface, especially luminous fabrics such as organza and silk which allow the watercolor effects of the patterns to shine through. Rukmi practiced Homoeopathy and worked in public health in India until recently and has a master’s degree in Public Health from New York University. She is now enjoying painting full time and has a small business, Painted Lilies. You can see her hand painted scarves at page@paintedlilies_byrukmini.
