She wished her a great success and hoped that her work will be displayed around the globe.
According to Jyoti Gupta, “Music rejuvenates mind and soul. Every art piece, gives the onlooker a moment to pause and rely on senses and feelings of artist through these works. The art works displayed in the exhibition transform the visual rhythm of strokes and colours into melodies.”
