Sheila Makhijani executes meticulously with gouache and employs a flirtatious nature of line to reveal the intimate and tactile relationship between paint and paper. Makhijani’s paintings carve out a fantastical imaginary world in a swath of whiteness, barely perceptible in some cases from just a few feet away, but reveal their grandeur and beauty on more intimate inspection. Her works have been exhibited frequently in Holland, India and Australia.
