Khushboo is an artist deeply inspired by the traditional folk art of India—especially Madhubani (Mithila) art. Her creative journey began in childhood, and over the years, her heart was drawn toward the intricate patterns, symbolism, and storytelling of Madhubani. For her, it is more than just an art form—it’s a form of meditation and a bridge to my cultural roots. Though she completed her M.Tech and worked in the IT industry as a software engineer, her passion for art never faded. Eventually, she found herself dedicating more time to painting and sharing this love through teaching. She now conducts workshops for both children and adults, helping them explore and appreciate the beauty of Indian folk traditions.
