Guv to open Jaya Kalra’s painting exhibition

SHILLONG: Jaya Kalra, an artist from the city will hold a twenty-day long solo exhibition of her paintings based on the theme ‘I Paint Lives’ on Monday.
She has already displayed her work earlier in Shillong, Guwahati, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and also in Paris.
The exhibition will be held at Chrysalis – The Gallery, 2nd Floor, Salonsar Mansion, above Highland Studio in Khyndailad from 11 am to 7pm.
The artist has urged the people to come to visit the gallery from September 10 till 30 with exceptions being made for Sundays.
The exhibition will be inaugurated by Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy and the Editor, The Shillong Times, Patricia Mukhim.
Being a healer as well, Kalra has given a new dimension to both her art and healing by using art to heal.
She creates customised art work for people according to their problems or illness, physical or mental.
These are created with appropriate colours and symbols through which the person gets healed by visualising them.
These include problems like depression, blood pressure, diabetes and many other ailments. She believes that if people can’t reach you, then you must reach out to them and calls it art with a purpose.
