When art and passion come together...
Art is a way of life for Rachana. Indeed, it is in every breath she takes. Her passion for creating beautiful things expressed itself early on in her life, starting with her first art exhibition as a teenager. She exhibited at the Taj Residency in Vizag showcasing pastels and water colour art. She later moved to Hyderabad to pursue fashion design from NIFT. Subsequently, she started her career in jewellery design with Normak Fashions (P) Ltd.
Rachana then moved to Mumbai and immersed herself in learning and perfecting various expressions of art and craft from painting, her first love, to complex 3D murals in paper mache, clay, marble powder and other material.

She finds their eyes are most captivating, that speak in a million ways. In her journey as an artist, she has endeavoured to convey animal emotions in her paintings and prints, as seen through her eyes.
