Maithillee begun her journey as an artist when she was in grade 6. When students were never prepared to answer this, Maithillee was repeatedly asked by her teachers “what do you want to become when you grow up?” She was confident & always said a successful artist.

She started exhibiting her works from 2005 & till date, she has accomplished many recognitions & awards one of the most prestigious one has been the Dr. Sarojini Naidu international award for women - for Maithillee’s sincere contribution towards the growth of the country.

Challenges faced:
During the initial years of artistic career, She didn’t know where to begin from with no contacts in the art fraternity, She started reading alot about art, art exhibitions, started getting exposure by doing exhibitions & after failing to sell my works, She started building her contacts by exhibiting & visiting art exhibitions, connecting with the right people, She gained her confidence & started working harder & selling.


Current challenges:
Very few commission works due to covid sales haven’t been easy.

Future Plan

In the next 5 years, She sees herself as an independent successful, international artist. She believe art is meant to be appreciated not judged, criticised, analysed or compared to or with other artists without knowing the meaning behind the artist’s artwork.

She also believe that its easy to copy art but it’s even more difficult to create a masterpiece of your own, from your own imagination or through photographs clicked by you. One may get/feel inspired by other fellow artists, but at the end, what matters is what you create.

As school & college students, we’re always told that to be prepared for competitions against others. But An artist’s journey, is different.

An artist must learn/understand that you are competing with yourself, not others. You have to strive to become a better artist by seeing/comparing your journey from where you started.
