‘My Padma Shri Grandma Taught Me’: How Bihar’s Madhubani Artist took Her Art to the US #IndiaNEWS
Pushpa Kumari was all of 10 when she made a big life decision to pursue Madhubani — folk art that is passed down from one generation to another by women of the household. Though she had inherited the art, and with it the customs depicted in it, she never limited herself to them.
She added her own contemporary flavour and modernised it to be in sync with the changing times. If you look for Madhubani artists in Bihar, chances are you will find one every few kilometres but only a few, like Pushpa, have added a modern spin to it while retaining the cultural essence.
It is no wonder that her style of painting impressed the Public Art Fund, a non-profit in the United States. She was among the 20 artists whose work is currently being displayed at JCDecaux bus shelters in New York, Chicago and Boston.

Interestingly, she is the only Indian on the list.
