About this book
Complemented by family photographs and a brief biography by Dr Alka Pande, this book traces the journey of Hemi Bawa, a

Lavish, full-colour images of her works of over two decades allow readers to engage with the art she represents, rounding out the portraitof the artist with international sensibilities.
