Autorenporträt
My name is Pushpa. I was born in India in 1942, moved to England in 1969 and have been living in Canada since 1991. I am now in my late 70's. I am a mother of five and a grandmother of seven who sadly witnessed the loss of my youngest daughter and one of my granddaughters. I enjoyed the tranquility of water color painting in my spare time while taking care of my grandchildren and my special needs daughter when we lived together. Now, I live in an apartment on my own and do a little less painting as my hands shake. However, I enjoy the peacefulness and serenity of my senior years, as well as the beauty of all that life offers. Seeing the successes of my family fulfills all that I had missed when I was a child and reinforces my very purpose of being a support to them.
