Making the Most - October 7, 2012

Sonabai,a poor, rural Indian woman who was confined to her small home by her husband for decades, chose creativity over madness. Using simple and available materials, such as clay, sticks, straw, hair, rope and paint, she gradually developed a unique folk art style of decorating all of her walls.

My current tour leader has written a book about her and showed us a room of her work which was created after her discovery, and resides at the Siskriti Foundation Museum. A small sample is below - unfortunately captured in poor light.
