Shaila/ Aarattiee Gorhe
Fondly known as Shailu....
Born in a talented Maharashtrian family, Shaila spent her childhood/ teens in Mumbai before moving base to Pune.
Back home, Shaila's art inspiration was her aunt! With no formal education, she started as a self taught artist... observing..... detailing and stroking on canvas! Basic guidelines were given by Mr.Maladkar and then the special effects of portraits were learned from Mr Dixit . Its been over 30 years since she painted her first canvas.......and there on, paintings kept getting more magical- imagine a her painting to be often mistaken for a photo!
